Hey there guys today I'm going to show you how to repair your usb cable (top part) if the cable has been broken! If the cable has been suddenly dead and you see that one of your 4 inner cables are partially broken!)

What you need:

A screw driver or something that can tear loose the plastic part on the top of the cable (or something similar) I'm a screw driver)

This is what i used:


Now be careful we don't want to break anything! we want to be able to use the parts again after you fixed the steps

Once you taken the plastic part of and that damn rubber thingy

You'll see 2 metallic peaces that holds together everything. Be careful when taking these away these are useful!





Once they are removed you should have a cable looking like this


Now the tricky part is to not start to remove the green part and pull the cables out. make sure you remember the order! else it won't charge! (See picture) for correct order!

Picture taken from downside of the usb


Picture taken from upper side of the usb


NOTE The 4 cables needs to have same length so they all get connected properly!

Once you put them in correctly put back the green part and the black part, press so you hear a slightly click!

Once done put the metallic parts back (the one that is inside of the other is bottom part) the metallic that goes above the other one is top part!

Once done put back the plastic on and you're done! :highfive:



I know it looks horrible but at least the cable is working! :D

Careful with getting another one

Cheap USB cables are 24/24 and can only provide 300-500mA power,
you need a proper quality 24/28 cable that is certified to atleast 1200mA for the Lg G3, and a 2A cable is recommended.

its a bit more expensive

But when you notice that your phone is charging twice as fast as that PoS you got at poundland you know its worth the money.
