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.

         "I ordered a conductivity pen with silver ink which looks similar to the items shown above."

          "So I will need multiple layers to build up the connection to touch the bottoms of the 6 screw posts."

           The products mentioned above have a much higher viscosity (they're thicker) than conductive ink or paint.    Then: there's the fact that epoxies are manufactured for binding things together (adhesion).

            A small dab, on each contact point would do the trick

            Personally: I'd use pieces of 3M #06383* (or something thinner), to hold things together.

            Not much of an investment, far as an experiment, before springing for a new panel.

                            Another option:

                            Perhaps, with even better conductivity (more silver):

        Although: if the original connections were soldered; that would be my first choice, for a repair.

         Desolder the six through-holes, move the contact strip a millimeter or two further up on the diaphragm, to ensure a good contact patch on the (voice coil) traces and resolder through the holes.
