Hey, hey Paul, it's, it's actually you, that's looking in, in a mirror and, and can see yourself, so there!!!?!!?!!
Hey Paul Castro the dick head she just wants to help people you little sh*t
8 years later, and this video is still helpful. I wasn't sure if a splice job would be adequate as the shielding wire is obviously no longer all the way around the inner wire when you do it this way, so having someone verify that it works is great. I'm trying to put a reverse camera in my sister's car, but to do so either requires drilling holes in the trunk, removing the bumper, or running the cable under the car to the battery vent hole, because the RCA connectors are just too big to fish through the bumper. Cutting the cable on a $30 camera, and then splicing it again, seems much preferable to any of those options!
It obviously isn't anybody's first choice, but for most things this should work fine.
How does her camera look? I have a similar issue.
I did literally the worst job on mine, taped it up with freaking scotch tape, and it STILL worked! Thank you so much!!
That is the best comment ever!
You should be a teacher! You sound so calm, you clearly stated everything so well and you held my attention. I'm going to try this with some speaker I have for my computer where the tip of the pin broke off.
I hope it worked out for you.
thank you so much I watch so many videos and nobody gave me such simple info on how to fix my cord
I actually have the same problem with my N64 left audio plug. I wasn't really sure about what wire components I would find under the insulation, but this helps a lot, now I know what to solder. Thanks!
Lou9617 Hope it works out for you.
You're a life-saver EdT. Got my AV cable all patched up.
Hope to see you on Monday Night Kaos. :^
Happy to help. I haven't talked to Yellkaos in a while, it might be time.
Thank you for this video. I saved me a lot of work and money.
thank you so much! the tip on one of the component cables on my wii broke off and i fixed it in 5 minutes after watching this. Amazing!!
+Durrant Kellogg Happy to help.
In these quarantine days you're a life saver bro 😍
Happy to help.
Most cost effective way. Ive bending this since Grade School . Good Job explaining it.
Thank you so so much! I fixed my xbox's cables this way, and it works perfectly :) I also have no experience as an electrician whatsoever so it really was a huge success, thank you again, subbed.
Great job, man. In fact thanks to your video I fixed the end of my RCA cables from my turntable. Quick fix work perfect.
Glad to hear it.
Thank you so much for this, you wont believe how awesome this is!
awesome video thanks for the explanation exactly what I was looking for
Happy to help.
EdT1138 How can You fix a Xbox 360 E A/V cable from inside the a/V port
Great walkthrough! My fiancees xbox video jack cable broke and your video helped a lot. Thanks!
I'm glad it helped.
Thank you for this video! I thought it was very well put together and very helpful
Haha, I thought it was pretty bad, but thank you very much for the compliment. I'm glad that it is still helping people out.
need to fix my cable for my sub in my car...massive help!
Thank you! I was able to temporarily repair an AV to RCA cable for my sons xbox 360 !
Happy to help.
Even today this video is helping people , Thanks bro ! 😃
Glad it is helpful. Have a happy New Year.
Oh my god I'm so happy that this worked thank you so much!
Your awesome. Just saved me a complete headache .
this really helped I just don't understand why some would complain........ u did a great job and I enjoyed it. thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
It was overly long, and I did do a pretty crappy job in the end, so I won't begrudge people their complaints. Had I known so many people would have been watching, I'd have taken care to do a better job.
Thanks for watching.
You are my hero, thank you so much for the tutorial, it was extremely helpful for repairing my xbox 360
Great video! I'm surprised this isn't more popular.
But I do have to point out that it's high voltage, not current, that would blast through electrical tape.
Thanks! Rather than spending hours trying to re run a rca amp cord from the front of my car to the trunk, I just replaced the end that was shorting out
Great video!!! Thanks for uploading.
Hope it helped.
This came through for us today thank you!!
Glad it helped.
Thx dude the video helped a lot so now I can play my game cube legend of zelda wind waker
Happy to help.
Great video - thanks for the simple tutorial.
I have a playsation 3 and i do like you said but it dosen't work ... what do you think it dosen't show nothing nothing...
You didn't wrap tight enough, use a soldering iron if possible...
Hopefully you're still not waiting on a reply! PS5 is great!
thank you no one gives such perfect information
+Junior CrAzY I hope it helps.
Thanks
thanks for putting this up, I didin't want to open the cable and have bad surprises :)
Thanks , great idea good short cut for an emergency fixed!
Glad it helped.
great vid dude! this will help alot of people out there. well done
Thankny you I had a old small game console with the end of the av cable broken and I fixed it that is to this.
Happy to be of help.
Thanks! This video Helped me repair an Xbox 360 avi cable!
Glad to hear it.
these kinds of tutorial videos are really helpful and its something the gaming community can give to each other. online written tutorials just dont give you the same sense of confidence imo. great to watch someone do it and follow along.
hey, is youtube makin audio un sync on uploads? i thought it was just me but i think this is a little off too.
omg i just did it to my ps2 cord and so i tryed because what did i have to lose, but ya i tryed it and it worked now i can finally replay my childhood, thanks so much man
This worked perfectly, thanks for uploading this. I didn’t have any wire strippers and using teeth was absolutely the way to go. Of course i didn’t hear that from you....
I would never recommend using your teeth.
greatly done and explained extremely helpful
this should save me a lot of time, quicker than replacing the rca cable for my amp for my car, thanks
Glad to hear it.
Ypou can do a much cleaner and more professional looking job if you take your time.
Thanks man,you really helped me a LOT!
Thanks EdT1138! U really did just help me thank u bro!
You're welcome. Glad it helped.
Worked perfectly! THANK YOU!
Yes. It was very helpfull. Thank you very much.
+Gary Calzavara Glad to hear it.

thanks man i know its a simple video but some of us still dont know. now i can play my n64 👍
Happy to be of help.
Thanks man, this was very helpful.
Happy to help.
thank you dude i picked up a sega genesis model 1 from goodwill i bought a cable for it at my local retro game store the cable stopped working overnight and the wires detached from the head i soldered the wires together instead of twisting (better conductivity) but thanks this video helps a fuck ton back to super street fighter 2.
Soldering is the best option, but I made the video for a guy who didn't own a soldering iron.
Thanks, your tutorial fixed me an AC adapter for the Wii U gamepad, which breaks too easaly.
:D
Not really what it was meant for, but I am glad it helped. Just be careful, because a lot more current runs through and AC adapter.
Great video!! Need to use this method on sum headrest screens.
Good luck.
You are a legend mate
Hope it helped.
dude, thanks so much, now i can play my N64 and gamecube, thank you

Stop apologizing! You are offering your time and knowledge and that is more than enough to make us thank you all right.
By the way tour teeth "thing" is kind of cute lol :)
+Inês Paschoarelli I can't help it, it's just in my nature ;)
Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.
great tips man
I hope it helps.
Thank you man thx so much u saved me 15 buck u have earned ur self a sub and a like
Ansar Muhammad Happy to help :)
Yep I agree if they are going to repair A/V cables you will want wire cutters and heat shrink tubing.
And maybe even soldering iron and solder.
For me personally I'd more likely solder the two ends together then do the heat shrink around both wires.
Omg literally having the same prob with my n64 thx man
Hope the video helps.
Thank you! Got my n64 cables working again ^_^
Thank you very much!
Good luck. Hope it helps.
I have a tool for that called a wire stripper lol, but have used a knife before. Also nes controllers have 3--5 colored wires now. You can make usb too or extend a controller. Right now I'm messing with the nes classic mini.
Good luck.
Quick bit of advice if you're reading this: Instead of angling the camera at your face, angle it at a table. That way, you don't have to hold up the cable to the camera.
Thanks for watching.
I couldn't at the time because the camera was fixed to the monitor, and the monitor was not able to be adjusted far enough for that to make sense. It would have had a view of my chest and chin.
Fixed the middle of my Wii wire that my cat chewed up, lol! Thanks!
Happy to help.
Awesome dude thanks
Happy to help.
Great video thanks, in future gunna try splicing RCA to speaker wires, cheaper way of getting my P.C to cut in with the home theater system :D.
Hope it works out for you.
Man you the mvp
Thanks bro works perfect.. well you know
@EdT1138 thank you for the video, got my new rear-view camera up and running because of this \m/ (couldn't find the original male RCA connector)
+Alexander Jimenez Happy it helped.
+EdT1138 👍👏👏💪💪
You saved me, thanks
Happy to help.
Thank you.
If I was using a Aux cable, do I connect the harder wire to the other 2 harder wires like you did with this one? The AV cable has a red and white inside, which I know is for L and R channel. Just wondering if Aux cables have 2 different bare wires in them for each channel or what.
I got a question my 360 cables stopped workin so my father cut off the RCA from the Xbox and grab some PlayStation ones and cut the RCA off of the PlayStation ones and use RCA tips to the Xbox wires I don't know how but it came apart the wires and I don't know how to rig it back together
It should work the same as in the video.
Ok
thanks man great vid
Happy to help.
Thanks dude!
You are welcome.
thank you brother ♡
No problem. I hope it helps.
Thanks so much!
Hope it helps.
THANKS ALOT MAN, you saved me from buying a new xbox360 AVcable!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Thank u it helped alot
Happy to hear it :)
I think it matters whether someone has a good heart.
HOLY CRAP THANKS
Would it be possible to repair or clean the AV Cable that was connected to a Plug-In TV Game? I had the SpongeBob Plug-In TV that was packed in the box and when I just took it out and plug it in to my new TV that has AV inputs, the graphics on the screen looked weird with the different random colors popped up, but the game isn't making any glitches and the sound looked fine as it is.
First, thanks a bunch for doing this video. I'm in need of running a video cable from my newly installed side view mirror car camera to the inside of the car. Now, I can just cut the video cable and make a significant smaller hole on my car in order to get the wire from behind the door panel to the inside of the car and hence the center console where it shows the image. Thanks a lot!!!!!!!
Now, would you know if I could use the a red or a white rca cable for video as well like the regular yellow one. Are they interchangeable??
And whats the diameter of heat shrink tubes that I should buy to make it look a neat job?
Thanks again for your time.
Yep, there is no difference other than color.
***** Thanks for the prompt reply.
Ya Va
They aren't always prompt, but I try.
Thanks :)
Thanks man
wow I didnt even know that was possible!! :)
Thank you it works now I can play my ps3 on crt tv
Glad the video helped.
cool video
So if you do this, could you hypatheticaly could connect the wires so that you don't need the colored male/female connectors, right?
OMG thank you!
Happy to help.
nice...thnks My friend👏👏
Hope it helps.
Does the same things apply for both audio and then video cord? Gifted my son the old Nintendo 64 we have and the cords got yanked or something, only the prong inside is messed up. They wiggle around and are fickle to hold a proper connection to the television. It'd fix only that part but replacing the entire end with a spliced wire connection to new ends seems far easier than trying dig into the end of the wire to fix a loose prong. Thank you for the video and if you get a chance to see my comment. 😸😸
Yes, in most cases it will work exactly the same.
Can i take headphones, cut off the end and make a 3.5 mm jack to av to listen to mp3 music or something on my speaker system?
that's great, thank you, it was exactly what I was looking for! the only question that I have is that my rca cable that broke, and that is coming from a speaker, is one and yellow. To replace the edge of the cable, I only have some red/white left/right rca cables. I hope it will work...!
nevermind, I fixed it with the way you showed! thanks again ;)
Yep, it should work exactly the same way.
Happy it helped.
hey men thanx i could just kiss you right now you helped me alot keep up the work and i'm a subscriber
Happy to help.
Hey Ed, got a question! I know you mentioned the dangers or lack their of about a quick fix to a cut cable. However, I have a more modern record player made in the past two years. I was rushing one night and accidentally snipped the red rca cable. So I followed these steps and wrapped it well. It now works like new! My question was is this safe current wise? Should I be worried about any electrical mishaps?
You should be fine as long as the cable isn't moved around too much. Like I said in the video, the worse case scenario is that you'll have bad sound or no sound at all from that channel.
Thanks for watching.
