Iphone Cable Repair

If you ever had your cable and it started to frey around the tip of the charger from over use this will help you fix this problem.

You are going to need your cable and just two more things. A hot glue gun and a Spring from a Pen.

TOOLS

---------------------------------------------------------------

1. Low Temp Hot Glue Gun (with glue sticks)

2. Spring (from a pen).

3. Iphone cable.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Put the spring on the cable.

This part was a little tricky because you might have to use a little force on the cable to get it on. Wrap it around and around and it will eventually get on all the way. Don't be afraid to stretch spring. Then when it's on you can push it up to the top of the cable.

Gluing it is an art. Not many people know this... Using hot glue is hard when you don't want it to look like you globed it on and didn't care about it. Just use little at a time. Patience is key in this step to make it look nice. After I placed dabs inside of the spring like injecting it. I would Roll it with my fingers while it was soft. Then I would use the hot part of the gun on the sides of it to smooth it out. Tearing off the excess... It's good to use Low-Temp but Hot-Temp works too.

Now plug it in and see if it works.

If it still is charging and you are done. You now have saved yourself a couple bucks from having to buy a new one or keeping it out of a landfill. Those cables can cost up to $19.00 you can use that money elsewhere.

Thumbs up.
