If you cut the wires at different lengths it doesn't bulge so much and there's also less risk of short circuit :)

I worked as a technician in a pro audio workshop when I was young and I had to make literally thousands of XLR and Phone patchcables. And I always used my teeth to strip the small inner wires of the shielded Cables. After half a year I had a dentist appointment and he 'admired' a one and a half millimeter deep notch in one of my front teeth. After that I used my Jokari strippers all the time. Luckily the tooth enamel grew back and the notch disappeared after one year.

From the simplest issues to the most advanced topics, you are great. Without paying attention to how to execute, achieving the right goal is desired.👌👌👌

What I sometimes do is cut a piece of hot glue and stick it inside the heatshrink ends before heating it. You also have heatshrink that has something similar or maybe even the same kind of glue inside, but as I wrote, a small bit of hot glue works too.

Even with very basic topics, I always have the feeling with DWG that I'm listening to a Nobel prize eligible university teacher... Just pure happiness!

These simple videos + comments have a lot of value!

Very good teaching video, the viewer can see easily what it is you are doing. You explain things well. Thanks

I might have taken the keyboard apart and soldered on an old USB cable with the end cut off directly to the keyboard. It depends on how difficult assembly and disassembly was. 🤣

If soldering is a pain, I've found a good alternative is to crimp mini bootlace ferrules over the twisted wires. Of course use the uninsulated ones! They seem to give a nice secure joint and of course prevents any damage due to heat or solder splashes.

I'm not a beginner, but I still manage to forget putting on the heat shrink first about 8/10 times!

I stagger the joining of the wires, start joining a splice close to one end and then splice the second further along etc. this reduces the diameter of the bulge in the center and also prevents clumping of all joints in one area.

Thanks! I'll watch you do just about anything with electronics.

Nice for beginners and there's always a better way of doing things. Thanks for sharing and love your channel, especially when you test those made in China USB chargers!

Love from India, love all your videos❤️

Great video, and great sense of humor, i enjoyed it

Also recommended, especially for beginngers; double check and test that all connections are working before closing and finishing up! :) (First time I was doing it I had to re-do everything because of some of the cables weren't connected well enough, hehe)

Maybe add a micro USB or USB C connector so that the cable can just be replaced?

I'm sure it was a great repair, but I've tried watching the video several times, and it was sooo ASMR I kept falling asleep... thanks DGW! 😂

It is so much easier to kill two flies with one swipe than even just ONE bird with a stone ...

Awesome thanks, can you show how to stich together those fibres in headphone cables so we can fix them too?

You can also a lighter for shrinking the heat-shrink tubes :) But be careful with the lighter and soldering iron.

8:30 alternating the folds of the soldered wires would've let the blue heat shrink fit over it... or of course cut the wires at dif lengths. but many people dont think of that right away. so folding them alternating different directions helps.

A cut keyboard cable? This reminds me of an old Polish meme "tnij, kurwa, tnij!" in which a forum user took the bait and sloppily shortened keyboard cable to reduce lag 😆

Two flies in one smack in Norway as well. Heat shrink can be such a pain if you forget it, or there isn't room for it without it shrinking from just soldering.

You can get shrinking tube that is covered by a layer of glue gun glue inside. Heat shrink and glue it in one step!

Nice repair video

I like this video, it solves my insomnia problem! ;)

Very amusing. Thank you.

Thank you my USB brother. I made a B to B cable from this easy 👌

Teeth are a terrible idea! I used to use my teeth when I was young. Until that one time I failed to release the pressure on the cable once the insulation ripped. I pulled the cable with the copper strands "sliding" between my front teeth. Holy sh*t! The friction heat went straight into the nerve endings of my front teeth. Not even my dentist ever caused that kind of pain :-)

Vynikající ve všech ohledech 👌

Our cat bit my brothers mouse cable in half so I used this video in to fix it. Thanks a lot!

Thank you Nandor the Relentless!

Nice. can you make a video on your pulse soldering machine?

Question: when using a usb flash drive, do you need the 5v and ground, or can you use just the data+ and data-?

Excellent vid. Just the way I do it. I like to confirm that I am doing it right. :-)

Many thanks.

Can someone advise, how do i repair a wireless cable on my mouse?

Thanks 👍

@7:32 - I see that your finger is a perfectly calibrated PWM signal controlling the temperature. :D

Instructions unclear. I used my teeth and broke my jaw. I blame you!

Keep up the fight !

Haha that soldier gun @ 07:00 was straight from the russian 80's

first time doing this and I was successful because of this Video and his voice is funny af !!

Personally, I do not use heat shring tubes, but a hot glue gun. It has a longer lifespan, but of course it doesn't always look as nice as hidden in tubes.

Those of use who live anywhere near horses have uttered many expressions regarding flies.

I use nail cutter to remove insulation from wires.

I love your heat gun.😂😂😂

bro that asmr stuff was a hell of a roast.

more benefit than "Free energy Videos"

Yay another one

Too late - I already broke my fingernail. You'll be hearing from my lawyer.

Brilliant ACCENT! ! !

Haha, is your accent real? The dialog is hilarious

Interesting 😀😀❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻

-Today i'll tell you how to fix a usb cable 10 minutes later: -My soldering iron died while fixing the cable so i'll show you how to fix it 30 minutes later: -i tripped the circuit breaker An hour later: -my room is on fire right now and it's a great opportunity to show you 4 ways to put out a fire 2 hour later: -How i became homeless by fixing a usb cable

great ASMR description xD

“Kill two flies with one slap” The expression in Dutch is exactly the same.

man no shit teeth worked greetings from chile

Very gooooood

I would have suggested making adding a small board with a microUSB connector on the back of the keyboard and then you can use a cheap USB - microUSB cable and replace cables as they get damaged in the future. It would have looked more professional if you had liquid flux on the wires, tin them, and then solder the ends together without twisting them. Even better idea would have been to offset each wire by a cm or so, because that way you don't have a big thick bulge on the cable.

Top beauty!.

Damn those lines about ASMR😂😂😂😂

Handy tips but i’ve laughed every 10 seconds listening to hin😂😂😂😂😂

DUCK TAPE IS MY MAGIC TOOL

hi dude (diode😁) thank you. so what happened to your free energy channel?

Clear heatshrink can release halogen gas when heated.

BRAVO

I laughed a lot with the micropore :D

if I do this I cut the wire pairs different lengths to prevent a big bulge in one place, which could end up shorting if crushed I would recommend a 'linemans splice' for a job like that as not only is is it neater but is stronger if cable is likely to get tugged - glad it worked out for you and love your content

Good hit 👍🏻👍🏻 🇮🇳 || Kuki 15|01|2022

Diode gone wild,,,on the table bench. Good job of repairing a broken usb cable,,,with 4 internal wires,, red,white,green,and black. Which colour is the earth wire? Black or white,,,or green?

There are 22awg shrink tubes with low temp melting solder paste in it. You place the wires and heat it, that’s all.

I chipped one of my top front teeth when stripping teflon coated wire when I worked at Intel. That wasn't so bad, but to even it out they ground down my front teeth a bit. What a horrible burning stench affair that scenario was, omg. The smell of rosin flux is a dream compared to burning teeth.

6:04 Kepton tape, or.. a normal sticky tape or... whatever tape is this or..

Man you did batter job then the factory 🏭 😁

Prosimtě právě jsem četl, že z trhu ztahují nabíječku C-Tech UC02 u které bylo zjišteno mnoho případú, že se dostalo síťové napětí na sekundární část. Zajímala by mě a určitě i další lidi rozborka téhle nabíječky. Nemohl bys ji rychle někde sehnat dokud se dá koupit?

Maybe in next video, there is my sister.. :-D

The heatshrink shrinks about 50% so you can take that in mind and don't have to waste shrink like that. Also, that CRAZY accent man :D :D :D

Is an English soundtrack available?

My experience, be aware of the colors, with cheap cables they are not always what you expect.... Have had black and red backwards, or black being one of the data lines etc..m

Until i bothered to buy heatshrink i used electrical tape and the hot glue over it xD

I do as you :) wthout your help (:

i use a lighter to strip off insulation from thinner cables. its the fastest and easiest method imho

If I did a dodgy repair like this (of course I do), I'd leave the extra shrink tubes on the cable for the dog to chew on. :)

Just for laughs I'd use electrical screw terminal blocks to restore the connection. That would look pretty naaaaaaice.... and then give it back to the sister.

4:48 😂😂🤣🤣😂 OMG !!! 😹😹😹

tbh I don't know why I kept watching until the 7th minute, i think your accent is the reason.

LMAO! Reminded me why my front teeth needed "fixing" 10 years ago..

What a waste of heat shrink... I would have used only the thicker one, because it can shrink enough to reach a size that would only have required the blue one.

Why is your hair dryer molten?

I rate this splice SUPER DODGY!!!

I don't remember he did face reveal or not. But i can definitely see it on the reflection of the keyboard. If he did let me know.

Just above 10 min ;-) No schematics this time? I'm always looking forward to your free-style drawings... in kodachrome color :-) :-)

Hey are you uploaded this video for checking that how KZfaq's new dislike function looks like?no seriously KZfaq updated that now people can't see how many dislike have on video😅😀

i love when he says : “H E R E ”

Using this accent is in Hollywood's interest Provided that you are paid the copyright👌👌👌

that was very good repear....only cat say.....what will be the next ha ha .....mjarv :)

You need to watch Louis Rossmann as he is teaching you how to fix Macbooks. His 3 or 4 Cats live in luxury and he is driving a Tesla. He has a Chinese girlfriend, less demanding than a Czech one.

The cable will be very weak and break if you pull it, use the tape first and then put the heat shrink on it.
