Greetings to my readers! Today again the heading "From Master Sergei". We will show you how to do a budget repair of a USB - micro USB cable with your own hands. What we have in the beginning is a non-working cable with a micro USB connector. The cable owner is running out of money, so he asked for help for a few coins. Let's see what we can do!

Disassembly showed that the micro USB connector in this cable is composite and the plastic retainers inside the metal shell of the connector fell apart. This state of the connector is not uncommon, so the cheapest option is to replace the connector.

In conditions of budgetary repairs, it was decided to dig in the deposits. A micro USB connector was found in a white rubber case, cut off from some kind of cable.

Many people think that such connectors are non-separable. The way it is! But Russian ingenuity works constantly, so it didn't take long to open the connector with a sharp scalpel along the fusion seam.

Next, we just need to strip the wires in the cable being repaired and, according to the pinout of the USB connector, solder it to a successfully disassembled serviceable connector. Below is the pinout of the microUSB-USB cable without OTG and with it - nothing complicated.

The photo shows how the wires should be soldered to the connector according to the color of the braid.

We check ourselves with a voltmeter - we connect the USB to the charger and measure the supply voltage + 5 V. Everything is in order.

Master Sergey proposes to glue two parts of the rubber case with the help of Moment glue. We act according to the instructions - degrease, apply a thin layer of glue and squeeze the two parts to be glued.

Of course, they did not get into the black color of the cable, but they do not look at the budget horse (repair) in the teeth (in the connector). This completes the repair of the USB cable.

What do you do when you encounter such a breakdown? How do you repair your cable? Or buying a new one? Which company? We share in the comments - this information will come in handy for everyone.

Hello to all!
Today we will consider the recovery of broken and severed USB connectors on a laptop.
In short, they brought me a laptop, on which one USB 2.0 connector is completely torn off, and USB 3.0 dangles a lot in the case. Well, that means we disassemble and look:

On the USB 3.0 connector, the contacts themselves on the plastic remained in place (soldered to the board), but the metal part was broken off. I put it back in and soldered it.

On the other hand, I had to come up with an emphasis for the plastic part, since it staggered and climbed out.

Next, we cut off some plastic from the side of the USB 2.0 connector contacts, which will be soldered so that the contacts themselves are visible and solder it to the board.

Well, that's the result. Well, something like this:

I checked everything, everything works. The client is satisfied! 🙂

Thank you all for reading! Bye everyone! 🙂

friend, tell me, have you ever installed additional usb ports in laptops? I have a lenovo v110-15iap laptop and it only has two ports. I want to expand the number by removing the drive and plug in a mouse adapter, a usb TV tuner ... and I don’t understand where to find free (not unsoldered) ports on the motherboard

Usually, in most cases, laptop motherboards are calculated individually for each model without the possibility of change. Alternatively, solder to the webcam connector (this is also a regular USB 2.0).

so you're right, but you need a camera ... but the bluetooth module is not about anything. you can throw it out and a hub in its place, what do you think? It's not integrated into the board, is it just soldered ?!

You can try. But it is necessary to dig into the module connection.

A very helpful article! Thank you))))

well, I understand, when they write on the drive about how the car was washed, there are at least pictures from the car ...
but these topics are about work related to computers - why are they here?

And behind the fact that this is my personal blog, where I write what I want. There is a separate blog about the car. If you needed topics about a car, you had to subscribe to it, and not to me, that is, just unsubscribe from me and that's it. 🙂 Whoever is interested reads. Many people have all sorts of nonsense written in their personal blog, and many do not even post it. 🙂 The choice is yours. I do not force anyone to subscribe to me and my cars!
