Micro soldering Connectors Help? Will this work?

Okay, Thank you but if it wasnt the flexgate issue would this work theoretically?

I’m just curious too as if this connector broke on other boards too if you could just wire it like the way I am doing to fix it?

Sometimes what is an obvious solution is not that good!

Here we have a high current load (backlight LEDs) and we have a flex cable which is intended to flex.

So while the patch might work for a few days or weeks it will fail just the same from either burning up or breaking down from the movement.

One last factor is the signal. Often times we forget about the isolation of the lines where cross-talk can enter as well as the risk of a short when your patch wires are too close together with not enough insulation. This is where spaghetti tubing is needed and the path lines need to be as short as possible.

I would have made the effort to replace the connector and not try patching.
