How to repair bottom diaphragm connection of Eminent Technology LFT8 planar speakers


The bottom of the board connecting the wire block came off the printed circuit of the mid range panel diaphragm.  Does anyone know how to re-connect or repair this?  Can it be soldered back on?  I would like to avoid having to replace the entire mid-range panel if possible just for this.

I'm not sure how to attach pictures to this post to show it, but I can send pictures to your email if needed.

These are great ideas. Thank you!  I ordered a conductivity pen with silver ink which looks similar to the items shown above.  However, you will see in the pictures that there is tape covering up the trace printed on the diaphragm, so I think I  need to remove part of tape to expose the silver trace to allow the silver ink to connect to it. 
 
Also, there is no solder connecting the trace to the bottom of the screw posts on the terminal board.  It looks like the screw posts just manually touched the trace with no solder between them. So I will need multiple layers to build up the connection to touch the bottoms of the 6 screw posts. 
I emailed Bruce Thigpen and he said to replace the entire diaphragm at a cost of $250 per speaker. I would like to try repairing the connection first to see if this works.
