Loose ICOM PTT

[Crono0001]

I currently own an ICOM PTT:

It has a loose wire below the PTT button, before it connects to the headset. If the wire is wiggled, sound is cut off.

Is there an easy fix?

electrical tape?

Nah, it's loose right under the PTT, where the wire connects into it. I don't see any screws or ways to open this thing, else I'd just solder and replace the wire. Not that simple.

EDIT: So the wire has to be bent a certain way for me to receive. I can always transmit, but it needs to have tension at certain spots for me to hear anything. I've taped it together and it's a temporary hold for now.

Sigh, more money.

I can check it out tomorrow, if you want. I've taken apart an F4TR before, so an F4S shouldn't be too different.
