I did it!! My first electrical project!!! It worked!! I fixed the broken USB on my favorite plant light!! The plant light was over $50 and I thought I had to buy a new one!!

I was so nervous doing this, I thought I was going to explode the whole house!! But it worked!! Hooray 🎉!!!! My plants now have light!! Thank you car man!!!

The first USB-repair video that I found which actually shows the soldering with first tinning the cable and then soldering it on (I wondered how to do it right)

[strikethroughstudio]

This is remarkable! Now I need to pop into the hardware store to pick up the tools and materials so that I can cheaply reconnect the nipped USB cord to the USB plug of my laptop cooling pad. Thank you so much!

Very happy I found this video. Helped me fix a rainbow light that I got for my birthday, but the USB plug gave up the ghost on almost immediately. Thanks bro

Just fixed the speakers in the back of the van with this. Thanks for the video!

[slogoheinzy]

thanks Nick. saved myself buying a new usb lamp

[wayuptown]

Thank you! 🙏🏻 Just used this to fix a broken power cord for a baby monitor system mounted to the wall. Saved myself ripping it out and the $100 they wanted to charge for a replacement cord…

Thank you! I successfully replaced a broken USB head of a lamp dimmer.
I ruined like 4 heads in the process but eventually did it right :)

Its been 4 years since this video came out, but nonetheless, thank you man! Appreciate the guide

[photic]

this was exactly what I was looking for man! great video

...and here we have our repair- easy & quick! (Yes, but having *ALL* the *right* tools kinda does that to a job. Probably more affordable to get another wire) lol All those purchases aside, this was pretty neat to watch :)

[kuryaku]

Buying solder paste really helped, personally.

[MalunggayBoy]
