#80 iPhone USB Cable Repairs, how to repair lightning cable, how to fix iPhone cable

A longer than expected video of my attempts to repair a couple of broken iPhone USB lightning cables.
The first is a PQI branded cable, which is actually pretty well made, that failed from the cable being kinked over near the lightning plug causing the cable itself to fail, not the cable connections onto the PCB (which is what usually happens), this was going well until I reassembled the connector, which somehow put stress on a PCB pad tearing it off the board making the plug useless, so unfortunately that ended up in the bin in the end.
The second cable failed at the USB plug itself, the strain relief was not properly installed, causing the wires to be pulled from the PCB. I cut off and re-do the wires onto the plug, and correctly do the strain relief so the wires are not being pulled from the PCB.
Here is a high quality lightning cable you can buy cheaper than an Apple one: defs.link/?u=53e14d

Impressive, you’ve inspired me to attempt a few of these myself. I seem to go through these cables quite often so if its at all possible to repair them it could save quite a bit over time. Thanks, loved the video!

[@d.favelafavelinha3813]

Thank you for sharing the video. Thumbs up for you. You did show how to tear-down the usb connector without damaging it.

[@ezgamez1180]

Excellent video.
The way you work i was expecting gore and thankfully i got it.
Next project "human centipede!"
Salute.
Probably the best video on the subject on youtube.

[@dhanapara2856]

[@y2k428]

Great Work! Almost inspired Me but.....after 40 mins of (if) work( vid 1 & vid 2) the upload ( Broadband internet 2vids ca: 800GB ) I felt the 20$ for a new cable was negligible!

[@luxbeci2]

[@randymarchant737]
