- I have a try fixing another iPhone lightning cable, I have fixed lightning cables many times, but it seems whenever I record myself trying to repair a lightning cable I am jinxed and it doesn't go as planned.

Best comment. The anxiety build up thanks to this com!! 🤣✌🏼🔋🔌
Watching on 1%
😂
Not disappointed at all. It was interesting to see inside the connector.
You know this: They intentionally make them all this way, so they fail and it’s too much of a problem to bother mate!
Bloody twats... I bought a new iPhone, 1000 Quid! No charger, headphone or bloody cable to plug headphones in...
Well the put that timer circuit in so it will fail even if the charger is not torn
This mess is why am 900% in favor of RIGHT TO REPAIR When it comes to cables like this... I can repiar Coxial cable why not this? I can repair the main board in all my TVS and appliances BUT NOT THIS WHY?
Not a How to fix it.
3rd time on TH-cam that I’ve wasted my time on in a row, but at least you showed your attempt from which I have learnt something.
I feel your pain, feeling misled
SO THEY PUT A DIODE BRIDGE IN CABLE !!! THAT IS WHY IT DOES NOT MATTER WHICH WAY YOU PLUG IT IN !!!!
I have absolutely zero luck with aftermarket lighting Chargers. Might work one day trash it the next.
I appreciate your "how to" videos but you've wasted my time by saying "how to fix a lighting cable" and took almost 12 minutes to get there. If you had titled it: "what's in a lightning cable" that would have been fine. Anyway, I'm trying to help you decrease the thumbs down on future videos. Greg
the worst power cable of all time. not fit for purpose apple.
No harm trying. At least you learn what is inside. If thus is too gone, next time you know more, and will be able to do it better, and succeed.
How to fix lightning cable, but you weren’t able to fix it? I appreciate your honesty & I learned a bit. I also understand why you couldn’t, but the video’s title is “how to fix…..”
Thanks for satisfying my curiosity about these. I've always wondered what's inside one. I absolutely hate how they're seemingly designed to be thrown away... what a waste of materials! All so we have to keep giving Apple our money...
Wires inside are so little , they are less strong than exemple tv wire so it’s more fragile , so sometime we charge the phone on a table too high and the top of the wire is bent and after many times doing this , the rubber stretch a bit and a wire inside finally break , and we can’t see it , cuz it happens inside !
It force us to buy
Lightning cable every year
Apple is corrupt. These cables sold for up to $45 when they cost apple about 5 cents. Apple could've used off the shelf micro USB plugs but they couldn't steal from people. Apple has made billions off of selling cables. To make things worse they put a chip in the cables to reduce the chances of third party sellers could profit off of knock off cables. Apple has billions stored offshore to avoid taxes. We need a law that would STOP THEM FROM DOING BISINESS IN THE US until they paid taxes on all that offshore money. Then force them to pay billions in fines and have APPLE executives arrested and inprisoned for corruption.
Sadly, the US has one party of fools who chant like primates when they hear 'deregulation'. We need MORE regulations, not less. The stupid people who mindlessly chant for less regulations are allowing corrupt companies like Apple steal from every American.
Thanks so much for this video! I had to wade through tons of idiots making videos about putting electrical tape on the cord. I almost lost hope that someone would actually take one apart.
Have you spliced a cable that was cut in the middle?
I hate when they mold the connectors or such so it's not possible to repair without dipping the end in epoxy or rubber to seal the end after you are done.
It was looking good until you started butchering the cable. I think I’ll just take a trip down to my local Poundland ✌️
Awesome vid! The scariest part was you cutting the mold 🤣.
When I was a bit younger, I was cutting a peice of cardboard for a project and accidentally cut the inside of my left pinky. Because it was a razor, I managed to 1/5 of my pinky. Strangely, it didn't hurt. It was just one clean cut. I remember multiple drops of blood dripping onto the kitchen floor as I grabbed a piece of tissue. I was fortunate enough that my tendon didn't get cut. Everything healed perfectly and I can't even see where the scar is anymore.
If they would only make the strain relief a bit further and stiffer from the lightning connector end a lot of cables would be saved. No surprise on the soldering jobs on the internals. I bet the overmolding helps holds things together and masks poor connections for a while.
Sucks, must have about 5 of them and not working, grrr they’re so cheaply made and overpriced because they’re made China, Not even worth fixing it yourself damn to go to another bike $35 Canadian and I have like five devices great
my neighbor has an iphone with such a cable and he came to me to check why he can't charge his phone anymore, his connector has the 2 middle pins on both sides almost completely burned off because of arcing I suspect, I measured if there was continuity on those pins and there was none except for one pin that gave an intermittent signal so I told him to get a new cable and write the old one off.
It seems to me that many people have this problem with iphone charging cables, I find it pretty funny.
I hate apple and everything they are a part of and personally I would NEVER buy, use or even look at and I certainly would NEVER EVER plug an apple device into my personal computer just out of principle that it's from apple.
Mate, no matter what you're fixing you can't cut towards yourself. I learnt this the hard way :/
I find I have better blade control, that is why I do it that way.
I learnt the hard way too, I was slicing along the jacket of a cable resting on my leg - I slipped and now have a nice scar! Luckily, it was a brand new blade so it made a really clean cut.
Thanks for trying! Never saw the inside of one of these. I suspected they are all throwaways.
Wow, I hadn't even considered trying to repair a lightning cable. Very interesting to see what's inside the connector. I guess if you'd try to proceed with a repair you would have ended up with a quite fragile result. Thanks for taking the time to film this adventure! :-)
It appears to be another cable
victim of 'planned obsolescence'.
I’m confused, I stripped my OEM lightning cable and instead of these 4 colored cords I have 7 tiny ones. I was trying to identify 5volts and ground so I could make a custom power supply for a breadboard.
Thank you for this , thankfully I’ve saved multiple broken iPhone connectors and it just happened my dad got a soldering iron lying around, I have 3 in my disposal and each had different problems but atleast I got the idea of soldering. All 3 worked on my first time trying. I guess I won’t be buying a new one in a while lol.
Better off getting a USB to lightning plug adaptor, then you can use any old USB charging lead. Apple have to make it complicated by having to have a chip that provides some sort of ID to the device being charged (the purpose of the small chip)
If it's encased with injection molded plastic wouldn't a bit of heat help soften the plastic and get it to loosen adhesion?
I was so worried about him cutting his thumb lol
Well I won’t bother to try this !
what about heating up the moulding with heatgun first to soften the plastic? (not so hot as to melt it and make a mess, but instead just hot enough to soften it enough to get it off)
Yes that would have made it easier.
Well the camera work was good.
Not MFI certified (a counterfeit) so not worth fixing. Besides that a proper Apple Certified one has glue over the chips and wire contact-points with a metal sleeve crimped over.
All the lightning cables I’ve seen have wiring made of steel and is not easily soldered. The steel wires are brittle and break easily when sufficiently flexed.
Hello May I ask how I can fix my iPad charger? My iPad charger accidentally fell on the ground and the head of the charger (the one that we plug in the IPad to charge it, I’m not sure what’s it called) and the wire got separated. Do I have to buy a new charger? Or do I have to find someone to repair it for me? Can it be repaired?
it's very small staff , and quality of the cable, and material used to made it depend on it's cost,
Thank You for exploring that Lightning cable.
I'm never lucky when it comes on to repairing devices
Be very careful at @3:04 , simply burn the blade and cut that Chinese plastic like a butter.
Jalaj Saxena - yes that would have been an option, and likely would have been a lot easier.
@@TheDefpom can you do a updated version of this please ♥️
Hi thanks for showing what is actually in the lightning terminal side of the cable.I have problem with a cable bought recently.This particular cable is for connecting my iPhone to external speaker which has phono connection.There is lightning connector on one end and 3.5 mm phono jack on the other end.This cable does not work for some reason I don’t know.I tried to test continuity between the connectors with a multimeter but only get one result which is ground but nothing for others which is for sound.I thought it should show continuity for sound but later I learned there is a chip circuit at lightning end so May be that is why the continuity does not show.Please correct me with this one.I wonder why the cable does not work? This cable is for sound only and not for charging phone so I would presume there should be direct connections between the lightning and phono connection.Your help appreciated Thanks
Only video where someone mentions red on left black on right .Well done top info video 🤘👍🇬🇧❕
Just proof that you might as well just go buy a new one.
Merritt Derr - maybe so, but I don’t like this whole throw away society thing and the resulting mountains of trash and wasted resources, I think if some could be fixed then it should be.
@@TheDefpom I suspected that would be the response. I feel the same way mostly but one of the lines I draw is trying to fix molded cable ends, which I've never had much luck at
Facts
It only wanted a delicate bit of soldering. There is a gadget, cant remember its name, like 3 hands, weighted with little clamps to hold several bits in place, to hold it in place, then all u have to do is make sure its clean, solder wont work if dirty, then one little spot of solder.
I’ve seen someone use that once. Great idea! Then it would be worth it bec you could fix anything and never buy chargers.
Things are slow down under??
You obviously haven’t seen my other videos then.
You should have used heat. These Chinese molded it in place with heat.
Order from left to right r w g b ( + R, White ground,Green Data, - B)
ah so its not like type C
My lightning cable connector simply gets very hot to touch and I can smell plastic burning. Of course the cable doesn't charge my phone anymore. Luckily it didn't damage my phone either. I suppose the circuit got shorted somewhere...
Well, what can i say.. miserably failed ha ha :-D joke :-D
I've been there too many times and i get a bit too stressed out and that does no good :-(.
Being too determined sometimes works, but often makes matters worse.
I use hot glue to replace the moulded case, not pretty but it works :-D
Who said im a bodgy bugger? lol.
The patience of a saint 👊
Are these cheap chinese cables of any good? Can you use it for data transfer, or they're only good for charging? Thanks.
Ahahahahahaha is that joking, wasting your time
Hello sir,
I want to know how to fix a USB C to Lightening cable ,
I cut off the cable on lightening side and i found 5 connectors there but unfortunately I didn’t know which cable to connect with which connector plz help
Thanks
Thanks a good video on repair of the I phone cable I tried that but the I phone not charging
On the 4 pin the reading of the 5 volts does not show the from the solder of the red wire its shows 5 volts but when completed the negative has continuity from wire to pin 1 but the red on pin 4 dies not have any solution for that
I wonder if the molding can be softened with a heat gun in order to reduce damage to the board. Would probly have to it up in a way whete only the molding is being heated up and not the rest of the cable.
Thanks for sharing! I have a iPad at work that uses a massive protection case and the charging / data cable has a bad wire. My Bose ordered a pack of five replacements and they have a bigger shielded ends then the old one.
Why does your charger have 4 wires mine has 3 and it’s only red white and green
There should be 4... 2 for power and 2 for data.
Defpom's Electronics & Repair I literally cut another charger and it has 3 too

Loved this video!
Thank you for this video I managed to restore my Apple cable and not burn the house down … yet
dropped my phone while it was charging on a LC with a cracked tip. Now my LC doesn't work anymore and bc of corona it will take a week to deliver..
Is it original cable from iPhone or market cable pls answer Thankyou for showing inside
That chip is a real pain. I had a 6 ft connector that was slightly cracked near the chip area. Dropped coffee on it accidentally and it stopped working. The chip went bad or at least that's what I think happened.
are lightning cables 300 pound in cost lolol
Would you fix my cable for £4? Jk cool to see what’s inside
Thank you for showing us. I spend so much on iPhone lightening cable. Got whole bunch of them not working
broken phone.
what’s hilarious is i knew he was British before he even spoke. Luckily I didn’t have any problems understanding him :)
He sounds Australian or New Zealand to me (a Brit)
lol he’s not British he’s probably Australian
British, English, not Welsh nor Scottish nor Irish. Easy for me to know.
Do all Apple chargers have a red and black cord inside?
Yes I’m pretty sure however the colours could vary due to the developers because life can’t be easy
I skipped 6:00 while you were talking and opening it. Then at 10:15 you said, can't be fixed. I am glad I used only 2 minutes of my time
That’s great, but did you actually learn anything?
@@TheDefpom 2 minute attention span doesn't allow it. Like patience and talking

Be honest, how many were rooting for the razor blade at least just a little bit? 🤔
Not At All... You’re a nutter.. I was hoping that he didn’t hurt himself. How many animals have you tortured for your pleasure???
@@jamiemorgan4146 Jesus Christ it was a fucking joke. You do understand what jokes are right? I know CDC guidelines state we are not to joke about stupid shit because it might spread Covid (that was also a joke. It’s impossible to spread Covid by saying stupid shit.
So I’d like to apologize.
Seriously, I would love to apologize
Honestly, if I could think of something worth an apology I wouldn’t hesitate.
Shit, I got nothin.
Thanks for saving me the trouble
Why not an oem official apple lighting cable????
recklessjunkie - because they are actually far worse for breaking ! I started out with genuine cables, at $30 a pop... then one day after my 4th cable failed (Despite treating them carefully and gently) I picked up an aftermarket one, it lasted 4 times longer !
Defpom's Electronics & Repair interesting so they are decent I remember hearing your better off going with oem because the after markets are not very good in the quality department
Also I’m sure your talking about a good after market one not a cheapo from a dollar store what do you recommend
recklessjunkie - sure there are rubbish aftermarket cables too, but as long as you choose carefully you can get far superior cables than apples ones, even high quality aftermarket ones are half the price of apples.
Defpom's Electronics & Repair so maybe go to amazon and go with the best reviewed most bought lighting cable ?
My lighting cord on my iPhone charger is wiggling what can I do to fix it
check fro fluff build up in the lightning port, it is amazing how much debris can build up in there.
