Ok, this works and, as a general idea, it's quite OK. However, a few details made me suffer considering someone unexperienxed with soldering may watch this video: please do clean the tip of your soldering iron! A piece of (dry) cloth or even paper would go a long way. It would also be better to "turn" (roll) the wires before soldering them. And please use better (wider and more even) spacing among the soldered wires. Interesting trick with the lighter! Please don't misunderstand me: I'm not criticizing, just kindly suggesting. Ciao!

The soldering technique employed here leaves a lot to be desired? Dip the bare wire ends in some flux paste first and twist the loose strands together before tinning. This will make soldering them onto the pads on the USB plug so much neater and secure. Additionally use a better soldering iron with dedicated miniature PCB tips.

@@Seriouslydave i don't work for 'Spacex' myself David. The methods and techniques i have mentioned are just good, common workshop practice and nothing more. The solder pads on these USB plugs are so closely spaced that any stray braids of wiring will create bridges and shorts between the pads.

In my case I know the cable got broken inside and not the plugs, so tired bending it around and see which part is more likely has fault, I cutted the broken part off in the cable, I found a music cd disk, I reconnect the ends of the cutted four wires by twisting them into a string (about 1cm long pin after braiding the cutted wires., I insert the braided long “pin” into tiny plastic tube cutted (empties plastic tube of core of a pen), so the pin is insulated inside the pen-tube that’s about 3mm thick. So there are 4 pen-tubes insulating 4 pins, I taped the pen-tubes onto music Cd disk, and also taped the nearby length of the cable onto the cd disk, I need to cut a tiny plastic piece from a plastic bag to insulate the copper wired between the 2 out the 4 pen-tubes because they has to be taped all in one spot one on top the other. So the cable had been fixed albeit there is a music cd disk taped up in the middle the Lightning cable!

David , I had three iPad (or iPhone) cables fail in just the manner I described. I have an electronics background and I know not to pull a cable out of its socket by yanking on it. These three cables failed just as I have described. The outer plastic covering (sleeve) did disintegrate after several years. It was not yanked out of its socket, ever. You are correct, however, in that pulling on the cable will indeed destroy it in short order. It may not necessarily fail on the first such pull, but pulling on it will very significantly reduce its life, causing it to fail much sooner. As I said, I have not seen this disintegration problem on the generic cables I have been using for several years now.

These days videos on KZbin just watch with a pinch of salt. Not saying this is fake but as you brought out it could be edited. Some viewers also commented if the colour of the wires mattered too.

There are so many things wrong with this video. Doing all of this for a person with limited skills may ruin the devices connected, a replacement cable just does not cost enough to warrant this. Not all connectors will come apart as nicely or easily as shown. OMG get a new tip for your soldering iron, yours was shot. Many times, with the number of times this plug has been "man-handled" the connector itself may be tired with the thin plating scraped off of the substrate, yielding a likely intermittent connection.

@@audreybarnes6527 I mean: it will be harder to unsolder of the solder joints are embedded in glue. I don’t see how the glue helps anything (since it wasn’t the absence of glue that led to the failure the first time).

@@smalin nah the hot glue will peel right off

I wish I would have known this before. Spent fortune for years

You can heat it up carefully and it can be worked with. I fortunately have a heat gun at my work but a dryer may help just don't blow a fuse.

Noticed on one solder joint he moved the to the next wire too quickly before the previous joint's solder has set. One can clearly see that the solder has crystallised somewhat because the solder was still hot enough to be in a plastic state, not solid when movement and tension occurred. This is now a weak joint that has a higher resistance and could become a dry joint and a difficult one to fault find without dissassembly and close visual inspection of each joint. Certainly needs to take more time between each joint to allow the solder to set without any chance of movement. Once the hot melt glue was applied it is unlikely that the original plugs could be reused for further repairs, but it is also likely that by that time that the cable in general was no longer flexible enough or in a good enough condition considering ongoing continuity or resistance to be trusted for further repairs.

Yup, his soldering technique is really poor.

To give the new life, you would have to buy a flux, soldering iron and a hot glue gun if you don’t already have it. Those combined cost much more than the cost of bunch of replacement cables.

[@lonster3000]

And the time you spent trying to do the repair.

[@lavidaesbella361]

Eso es lo que he pensado,hay que tener los utinsilios, sino.....

[@WillNewcomb]

Thank you! The hardest part is opening up the existing plugs. I've never seen ones that simple split open. Mine are all fused. Do you have any tips for opening/cutting them so that you can get at the connections inside?

[@johndublyoo2553]

Your soldering skills are shocking!!!!

[@elizabeth3280]

this reminds me on what it was like to take a course as a teenager except we used newer stuffso my concerns on the corrosion did not come into play. I think people would find it satisfying to be able to fix simple stuff though as the principles are very similar with most components.
