Cut off the outside of the usb wire then strip the positive and negative wires inside the cable. Take apart the plug and cut off and pull out the wire that connects it to the wall plug. Then push the USB wire into the hole were the wire you just took out was. Soder the USB wires and the Plug wires together and tape the exposed metal to prevent shorting. Lastly reasemble the plug.
