iirc, I had cut mine but regret it now. I had bought liquid silver afterward and it seems to work great. its very expensive, but you only need a tiny amount. if you decide to try it, take precautions (well ventilated place, etc...). you can also get liquid graphite on ebay (keypad fix). its better suited for keys because silver peels off after many key-presses. perhaps graphite would be better for that connector too.
oh, don't forget to always lift the plastic 'lock'. seems it hasn't been mentioned in thread, maybe some still don't know about it. (its the main cause of problem)
