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.

    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.
