I recently purchased (in New Zealand) a second hand GCP for my sister, it was very cheap but not without problems!

Someone had stripped the screw holding the shower screen in place, which in the end was relatively simple to remove. The main issue though is that the ON OFF...

I want to know if there is a way to connect the solder points left behind after the timer/dose dial fell off. (I don't use it anyway)
