   Well the plastic isn't Mylar so it melts pretty easily.  But I'm going to try   
   and solder it anyways and see what happens.  At this point, it's ether that or   
   see if I can use a conductive glue and solder a wire down.  That is assuming I   
   can expose the    
   conductors and get a good connection.  Well my last resort idea is make a PS2   
   keyboard interface to the existing connector.  I'm going to take it slow so I   
   don't make thing worse.   
      
   A little more of the story.  This was an ebay item that was supposed to be   
   working.  It wasn't completely.  The video was out of adjustment and the power   
   supply had bad solder joints on the connector.  Both easy fixes.  The worst   
   was a mouse had chewed    
   on the lines going to the power switch and keyboard ribbon.  That last item is   
   the only thing that's been hard to fix.
