Description: I've used liquid silver to repair this connector. Its a bit messy but works usually. Wish someone would scan the keyboard traces, so that you can tell which one is broken if, for eg., row with 'S' is not working.
Don't forget to pull up the clip, it would prevent this kind of problem.

I once had the same problem.
I solved it by cutting the ribbon about 1cm away from the edge.
Then using a paper cutter i scratched the green emulsion carefully until the inner black lines come up.
Notice that the true color of the inner lines is white ! At least this is what i saw after scratching the green emulsion.
After that i replaced the ribbon back in the clip and the keyboard was working fine.
Actually it still does.

another way to repair ribbon is to trim 1 to 2mm off the edge of the ribbon,as most of the damage is done at the edge.

do this with a ruler covering most of the connector with no movment. press hard against the ruler on a flat surface & cut/trim edge of ribbon with a very sharp knife.

** all modifcation at your own risk **
