Do not throw away the original cable of the phone, but fix it in seconds

[@iwoir]

You solved my major problem... Thanks alot, love from Pakistan🥰😍🤗

[@phishfan]

A much easier solution is that when the cable first begins to fray, cover a few inches around and over the break with Shoe Goo or something similarly strong and flexible like that plastic you dip tools handles into, thus preventing any further breakage and sealing the wire.

I think this video is aimed at repairing top brand cables like Apple or Samsung etc not cheap £1 or €1 or $1 because people keep saying cables are cheap to buy in comments section, not all are cheap that's my point. helpful video thankyou.

[@IMGreg..]

Affordability is relative to income and what you want to do with your spare time. Fixing charging cables is not high on my priority list if $20 gets enough cables to last until my next phone upgrade then that's my path. But in many countries changing your phone as often as your socks is not possible but neither is having shrink tape, solder and a soldering iron.

[@troposquare]

Nicely done! I think the hot glue is what will make it less likely to fail again anytime soon. Good to fix up older things rather than just buy new stuff all the time. There's a satisfaction that you get using something you've rescued from oblivion.

[@flamencoprof]

02:42 I liked the heat shrinking rather than stripping the core conductor insulation, but seeing as I have an appropriate stripper, I would prefer its precision. I wouldn't say "fix it in seconds", but yes, with care and the right tools, this can be done.

[@CraftivityZone-123]

Brilliant idea! I love how you explained everything step-by-step. Definitely saved me some money from having to buy a new cable

[@Woodman-Spare-that-tree]

It’s cheaper to buy a new cable than a soldering iron

[@alejandroalvarez1544]

Interesting. I always try and control the weak link on electronic devices like corded Irons by moving the flexing of power wire away from the ball that swivels in handle. It might make sense to put shrink tubing over new cords to reduce the weak link.

[@helaltariq3958]

Thanks for helping me make up my mind to just buy one😂

[@kshred3043]

Using a cigarette lighter to 'strip' the insulation is a neat trick, especially on those thin wires. 👍

[@xGARIDx]

[@robertberger8261]

Cleaning and tinning your soldering tip would be helpful

[@tonydawson8999]

I second that,

[@Traitorman.Con.14th.Sec3]

He could fix it in seconds.

[@Subgunman]

The major issue is the plastic used in the jacket of the cable. Body oils and flexing will lead to that outer jacket failing. The shield to the cable must also be reconnected to the ground lead but be observant as to which end it is connected to, the phone side or the USB side.

[@DaveBooth-qs7sw]

It may have taken a few minutes but not seconds as advertised! Purchasing the length of heat shrink originally isn’t cheap, neither is the hot glue or the gun! It’s only helpful if one has these items laying about somewhere, otherwise it’s quicker & cheaper in the long run to buy a complete replacement chord as fumbling about trying to repair the original!

[@rajankalsi6692]

One major mistake, this video does not talk about ensuring that the same color of wire is soldered again on the desoldered point. If the color scheme of the wires are not maintained as of original, then due to polarity reversal your phone of thousands of Rs gets damaged due to reverse polarity of DC voltage.

[@annoyingbstard9407]

An idiot might do that

[@orcue70]

my thought exactly a couple of shortcuts taken there

[@SilverTester]

Op assumes viewer is smart and wont fall into such obvious mistake. Proceed at your own risk.

[@apoorvagala]

Four core cables are important that come with the phone. The cheap ones are two core and they don't give feed back to phone or to charger because no data lines. So it won't quick charge your phone. That's the reason this guy insists on preserving and reuse original cable. Thanks buddy, I have been doing this also. very informative video. Guys you can do things with right tools and give better precision but the importance is of idea and how to do. PS. Please note that on both sides internal wires orientation is reversed. first goes last and last goes to first and data cables are reverse too. red - data1- data2- black one side then other side black-data2 -data1 - red. THIS IS IMPORTANT.

[@madhusudangupta3661]

I don't think that the suggested such wiring is going to work as both ends are free to be inserted in any direction.

[@apoorvagala]

@@madhusudangupta3661 if it is C type cable. Here idea is to revive original cable.

[@madhusudangupta3661]

​@@apoorvagalaMy worry remains the same as after reviving the cable this way with incorrect wiring, the cable might connect to reverse polarity.

[@apoorvagala]

@@madhusudangupta3661 exactly, you try out on paper what I said earlier. Draw 2 connectors. Mark pin 1234 on both side and draw cable. Then read my earlier comment what I am trying to say.

[@madhusudangupta3661]

​@apoorvasgala At the end one, 1 is connected to 4 on two and 4 to 1, 2 to 3 and 3 to 2 respectively. Ok. Now while end one remains connected to device one and the other end is reversed on the device two, will the polarity will not get incorrect on device two? May be I am not able to grasp. Pl help.

[@alanlevin167]

This can be done but, depending upon the price of a replacement, it iis probably not worth it. I would probably estimate thatit will take about $15 of my time to do thisand I have the tools and supplies. if you want todo this, some suggestions: 1. I never hold my fingers as as close to a hot soldering tip as this may does---be careful! 2. I generally use desoldering braid to removesolder from a connection. 3. I do not use a knife to strip insulation off of a wire or cable--it is much too easy to cut through the insulation of one of the inner wires. There are wire strippers that do this easily, and efficiently. Anyway, feel free to try your luck, my time is better spent elsewhere.

[@AmazingSmart-ngth]

[@josephpaquette3781]

Going to try this. But some of the soldered connections appeared to be very close to touching each other which could create a “shorting” condition adversely affecting performance.

[@MarcoSisi]

Looks not very good with soldering iron indeed...

[@koshaz3x]

Nice video, but I'd suggest you first removing all the previous soldering from the connectors and use flux for soldering, you'll get better results.

[@monteceitomoocher]

Yes, rubbish soldering, liquid flux required plus better iron, this whole repair is a bit pointless when a new lead is pence.

Very untidy on the terminals points, should be cleaned first with solvent and tinned copper wires with Flux and then apply the Flux on each terminals to prevent dried joints on the terminals. It’s seemed you’re new learner, needs good soldering practice especially on a PCB and terminals points. A good technician repairer engineer needs tidying soldering practice, not shabby jobs to displaying on a KZbin channel. There other technicians are also has similar Traits and not trying to improving themselves as tidy/neat worker.

[@garymartin9777]

this is not a cheap cable. note it has 1) 4 wires, 2 for power and 2 for data; and 2) shielding which helps data integrity ; and 3) a chip to implement whatever protocol the cable is intended for.

[@timbacchus]

[@836dmar]

To the naysayers, DIY/repairing isn't always about cost. If you are not able or refuse to "waste your time" repairing the inexpensive items, you likely have not developed the skill to repair valuable items that you think would deserve repair. If you can't do the little things - you can't do the big things. Don't surrender so easily.

[@HabuBeemer]

You could buy a new cable for little money but you should buy the brand that came with your phone. The wiring between brands isn't universal. I shrink wrap my cables when they are still new which prevents all of this. I use a shrink tube that is 3:1 shrink ratio and comes in white. It has adhesive inside it which activates when heated so you don't need extra glue. The shrink tube piece also dries hard so you have extra protection from the cable wiggling around. It cost me about $2 a foot US and will do several cables when you only use about an inch at a time. I buy the diameter that will fit over the USB connector and the 3:1 ratio shrinks small enough for the phone plug side. A lot easier than what you see here.
