It’s the trace going towards the mode button, so I’m pretty sure resistance won’t exactly be critical over a ~3mm gap, as long as it recognizes when the plunger button is pressed down.

      Isn’t that only good to block radio frequencies and other interference? Isn’t the adhesive still an insulator?

          This is interesting and good to know. I’ll try to keep this in mind whenever I get ready to set up shop to finish fixing it, I do have a couple busted phones around and should be able to find a section of copper tape in one of them. 👍

            You’ll have a bad time with used copper tape. Just like why it isn’t advised to reuse any other kind of tape (duct, packaging, electrical)

              Hey I hear you there.

              I’m still game to give it a try though. Besides, whatever fix I end up going with, I’m still going to cover over that with brand new Kapton tape to protect it.

          I’ll keep that in mind for future experimental reference, but as of right now I don’t have any handy.

          Thanks for the advice though 👍
