So I couldn't just buy a tube of conductive epoxy and use that? Any reason in
particular why it wouldn't work?
What about low-melting-point metal alloy (I've got some indium-bismuth-lead
LMP alloy somewhere that melts at about 100C)?

BTW, it looks like these are "heat seal" connectors, which explains the
Sellotape on the cable. The backside of the cable is bare - the tape is there
to stop it getting torn off the board and also to protect the carbon
strips.

That just leaves the problem of removing the strip without tearing the carbon
off (or finding a way to remove the rather sticky plastic tape - same
problem).

Thanks.
