Dog chewed the cable from the VR Processing unit to my headset. Pretty straight forward with no solid answer on how to fix it while keeping the longevity of the unit intact.
Hi At the moment the I think the best thing to do is cut both cables back to a good looking part on both sides the strip the wires of their outer coating leaving just the coloured wires behind Then I would try and figure out that wires how where(eg red to red or blue to blue)then solder them back together accordingly To finish it off it would isolate each wire in electrical tape and put some form of shrink wrap over it to seal it up Hopefully this helps Any questions please ask Thanks:-)
@hellomacos hey. So I’ve gotten the casing apart and the wires separated. Pretty interesting These are the important notes so far The connector to the motherboard I did t expose all the way but from the “tear down” guide. It seems to come apart one more time? Not sure, it’s a small connector that plugs in up and down not in and out
. After further investigation. I see that it does not. Also I discovered that some of the metal I thought was insulation. Was actually a wire. That’s good news lol.
21-22 wires I may need to micro solder the wires back together and re insulate wrap and shrink cover it I don’t see myself throwing any caps on these small wires. Any suggestions? Update (08/21/2022) @hellomacos i just realized that’s exactly what you said to do lol!!! Here is a better photo I actually took it apart more slowly this time. 2 sets of 2 wires are wrapped separately. 1 bundle of wires is wrapped separately. And the more metallic looking wires are exposed.
Here is a photo of the soldering workstation I purchased
I wasn’t able to do a reply and add photo
I watched a very good video on YouTube of someone actually replacing the cable with a new one, but I can’t find any place that actually sells this cable. Most of the ps4vr headsets for sale on eBay sold “for parts only, not working” have the same problem - the cable is broken. Does anyone know where to buy the cable?
