Hi Jos, Resoldered how?
The wires are _very_ thin (I guess 0.1 mm or thinner - think of human hair) and they are covered with some form of high-temperature lacquer which you would have to remove first. Also the dimensions of all this stuff is _tiny_. There is just no space to poke anything in to solder a joint. Your average fine tipped soldering iron would be ridiculously large to even try. I wonder if spot welding would work using the tip of a fine needle. Of course before you can even attempt to repair a broken wire you have to locate the break.
