That repair will not work. The wires are aluminum doped with a small percent of silicon to add flexibility.

Solder will not bond correctly to the aluminum wire. Module may work for a short period of time if electrical contact is made, but remaining aluminum wire will decompose or aluminum wire/solder contact will fail. You also cannot solder to the ceramic substrate as the conductor is printed silver ink and is destroyed by the heat of the soldering tool.

The nearby gold wires are also very susceptible to damage from the ambient heat of the soldering iron.

Whatever, BUT..can confirm that was what was wrong with mine.
