I am trying to replace the metal case of my IPOD 1st Gen with a brand new case.

I have to remove the Power/STBY switch on the top left and also the antenna from the the top right.

My question is what kind of glue do I use to refasten the Power switch ribbon cable to the new metal case?

It appears that the copper land on the bottom side of the ribbon cable needs to make electrical contact with the metal case so I will need some kind of conductive glue.

Either that or my switch is broken.

Here is a pic of the switch I am referring to:

Thanks in advance for any help.


HMM - I really thought there were some hardware oriented Apple folks out there that could help me out.
