i asked the European Sony Support, the European Sony Distributer and some shops for help - unfortunately no one could help. 

So i decided to fix the problem with  enamelled copper wires (0.2mm) and some acrylic varnish - it works fine...

Hi!

I have the same problem.

Please, could you upload a photo from the other side of solder?

Thanks!

I´ve soldered the the wires directyl on the condensor  (where the condensor mets the trace to the connector) and fixed them with varnish on the flex. When you follow the trace you should be able to find the right pin allocation. The 2 outer pins, in the row with 4 pins, are only for mounting the connector and some pins are internal wired... I think you can´t get wrong

After a long, long search i´ve found out that the connector is this type: http://www.ddknet.co.jp/English/products/print/fpc-connectors/ff28/FF28_ENG.pdf

But i wasn´t able to get some of these - only +5000pcs
