Anybody got experience with this?  If it works, it might make reconnecting those BenQ traces a breeze.

Conductive Pen

Manufacturer: CircuitWorks®

• Quickly creates conductive silver traces on most surfaces
• Valved pen tip for easy application
• Can be soldered at low temperatures
• Dries in minutes at room temperature
• Choice of Micro Tip for fine lines or Standard Tip for wider lines
• 8.5g pens

The CircuitWorks® conductive pen is the pen dispenser for drawing highly conductive silver traces, jumpers and shielding with precision and control.

Conductive Pen draws highly conductive fine line silver traces, jumpers and shielding with precision and control. Ideal for repair on surface mount, thru-hole and flex circuits. Dries in minutes at room temperature. Valved pen tip for easy application.

Conductive Epoxy Kit provides strong highly conductive silver connections for solderless component bonding, trace repair, grounding and shielding. Quick low or no heat cure and high strength conductive bonding. Overcoat Pen applies a tough conformal coating used to repair solder mask. The overcoat insulates and protects against shorting and high voltage arcing. Helps prevent static discharge problems on sensitive circuits and protects against abrasion, moisture and chemicals.

Yes, it will work just fine.  That being said, if you can solder well enought to create the pads and install the switch, its just as easy to solder the two pads back together (IMO).

Your better off soldering a piece of wire between the broken points than use the conductive pen.  Conductive pens work sometimes, but if not done properly the connection will be flaky or over time break the conductive path.
