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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@monteceitomoocherMay be pence for you but a decent lead costs. Besides we should strive to no longer be a wasteful throw-away society and repair where possible.
@@WideCuriosity: What is a decent lead….something Apple charges 10 xs as much for. The connections are still only soldered. Apple just using the power of their brand to squeeze more money out of fools.
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.
Bro plz buy a soldering iron and get e try if you succeed that’s good. Or not thats not a big deal. Before i also don’t like soldering but when i buy and use this,this gives me a pleasure 😊. I recommend you to buy soldering items.
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.
It may work for charging, but this cable isn't compliant as the shielding isn't connected to the plug housings. Not sure it ever was in the first place...
That Happens When I broke My Charger when my Iphone can't be Charged, But my iphone is broken forever, At last My Dad Brought My New Phone to Make Animations Ideas and More, Anyways Your Bacon Friend Tells You Alot of Technology Indeed, But Nice Repairing the Charger, Looks New. 💙
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!
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 $15 of my time to do thisand I have the tools and supplies. if you want todo this, some suggestions: 1. I never hold my fingers as as close to a hot soldering tip as this may does---be careful! 2. I generally use desoldering braid to removesolder from a connection. 3. I do not use a knife to strip insulation off of a wire or cable--it is much too easy to cut through the insulation of one of the inner wires. There are wire strippers that do this easily, and efficiently. Anyway, feel free to try your luck, my time is better spent elsewhere.
Nicely done! I think the hot glue is what will make it less likely to fail again anytime soon. Good to fix up older things rather than just buy new stuff all the time. There's a satisfaction that you get using something you've rescued from oblivion.
this is not a cheap cable. note it has 1) 4 wires, 2 for power and 2 for data; and 2) shielding which helps data integrity ; and 3) a chip to implement whatever protocol the cable is intended for.
Actually I get my boys and scrape metal peddlers to collect such wires for me.. dump them into a bin.. over a year melt them down for copper.. more profitable this way.. and sold the sockets to hobbyists..😊
Nowadays many people leading a busy life, they have more important things to do rather than spending times fixing cables, they might as well buy new ones which are very cheap
Whether the table on which you cut the wire and used the soldering iron was also not bought by you for this? You should add cost of table and your salary for working 15 minutes!
These cables cost less than 2$, at 4$ you can get original fast charging supported cables.

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 RUclips channel. There other technicians are also has similar Traits and not trying to improving themselves as tidy/neat worker.
Need a little narration to help us understand the process. It is very easy to get the connector upside down. I would just make a quick diagram of the wires so I don't mess it up
Good job but but in case of Sony Bluetooth headset WI-C310 when you strip the cables there is no way to do anything , it is like micro fiber something like that , I wanted to make one set out of 2 that either side was not working 😕
My PS Vita charging cable looked just like your cable in the beginning of the video. I searched Google for a new one and this video appears in my recommendations. Interesting...
I'll just spent the 4 bucks for a new one at the local dollar store. Time and money well spent, instead of the amount of time and tools it would take to complete this " repair" job
Wut was tat yellow thing tat you squeeze on to the wires, and tat black rubber thing tat you put over the end which you later used a lighter to heat it in place? Donyou hav to buy tat?
I strongly suggest replacement. Repairing a bad cable could very well create more problems than its worth. This is coming from someone with well over 40 years experience in electronics. Dont risk screwing up your phone to save a few bucks

An idiot might do that
my thought exactly a couple of shortcuts taken there
Enjoyed that. Nice to see how a cable could be fixed. But that definitely took a lot longer than "seconds".
I'm really slow at things like this, but I could do it in about six or seven thousand seconds. 🙂
Yeah, it took 8 minutes and 6 seconds. But still not too bad if you've got that much time to kill.

This just reminds me of my dad I tell you. I miss him him he had all this equipment to do this
Thanks for helping me make up my mind to just buy one😂
So simple and so useful video thank you. Also you should put wiring picture that would be helpful
Thank you for all these great tips. Keep these ideas coming. Great video.
Using a cigarette lighter to 'strip' the insulation is a neat trick, especially on those thin wires. 👍
Yeah didnt know that
Thank you, awesome work. I gave you my respect for doing things that millions never even tried
Going to try this.

Looks not very good with soldering iron indeed...
7 minute blunt. 420 second repair.
Reading through the comments......and am very concerned, at the amount of people, who think this "fix,"..... is admirable. 😮
4 cold solder joints later…..
Good one, but most important thing here is to have a electrician friend with soldering machine 😅
a soldering iron costs 15€. It takes some practice to master it tho.
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.
Yes, rubbish soldering, liquid flux required plus better iron, this whole repair is a bit pointless when a new lead is pence.
@@monteceitomoocherMay be pence for you but a decent lead costs. Besides we should strive to no longer be a wasteful throw-away society and repair where possible.
@@WideCuriosity my question is how long before it has to be replaced anyway, due to worn/loose contacts in the plug ends? This is an emergency repair

Nice. No awkward background crap in the name of music. Pure knowledge.👍
😂 its not the same cable that was taken off the wire colours are different
i just bought 5 cables before he cleaned the wire, BUT this is still a great video and a great job repairing the wire
😂😅😭
Perfect for those of us that already have a soldering iron, hot glue gun, shrink tubing...otherwise...!?
However this is also a nice way to reduce e waste
Some replacement cables do not supply the same charging amperage as the originals do...
Redefining the length of a second!
Nice but bad soldering. The dirty operation.
I agree. The cold solder joint(s) could be a problem in the future.

Nice video. I would recommend to use additional flux when you solder. For a good connection.
So what will those hawkers selling chargers eat if we keep repairing the old ones😂😂😂
Great information! I think I will proactively jump to the last step of shrink tubing at the first sign of wear.
You solved my major problem...
Thanks alot, love from Pakistan🥰😍🤗
Hey I’m wondering if you can make longer charging cord using doorbell or thermostat wire
Thank you for sharing it to us!!!! Big help!!!
faster than finding my keys and backing out of the driveway, or ordering online and waiting for delivery. thanks
Thanks for the idea. What is the name of that black pipe like cover your burnt on the soldered part?
I guess you're talking about the shrink wrap. Sold in any electronics supplies.
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.
love the heat shrink tube - also use a pair of treezers to hold the wire when soldering?? thank you
I've been searching a type-C to Micro cable.Thanks!
In the Philippines you can buy a spiral protector you can cover around the cable

Bro literally said Fix Your Cable In 42000 Seconds
But appreciate it ❤
Didn't do a continuity check on the wires before soldering, could be a break somewhere else!
or a short
How do you fix an iphone cable that has no apparent damage but won't connect? How do you even diagnose what the problem is?
All the outer insulation became brittle on my cord so I just pulled it off all together. it still works.
When you see the cable being cut with scissors you know you will waste your time!
You could have cut off and soldered only one plug, and restored the insulation on the second plug with heat shrink.
This is not clean soldering, but bad frying
is there any good way to fix audio earphones cable as you do with USB Cable ..?!
I'm too lazy to do that. Besides, after I buy the soldering iron and the rest of that stuff, it's cheaper to buy new. 😂

Although you can replace the charge cable for $10.00, it is cool to see you repair it. Thanks for the idea and video.
