However, sometimes the device comes with it’s own USB cable. In case of broken cable, one might need to consider to buy a new device, or to fix the cable itself. Unfortunately a puppy dog happen to bite KVM switch (mentioned in earlier blog<\/a>), where USB cables are not replaceables. The following slide set shows the flow of fixing it.<\/p>\n

The problem: \"usbcable-fix-01\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The new USB plug: \"usbcable-fix-02\"<\/a>
\n(Luckily the cable was available from a broken headphone set).<\/p>\n

Soldering cables: \"usbcable-fix-03\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The end result: \"usbcable-fix-04\"<\/a>
