5. Slip on shrink tubing now! If you forget, you have to unsolder like I have done before and kicked myself.

6. Plug the USB cable into your PC. Check the wires for voltage. You should have 4.9-5 volts on one of the wires. Usually red. Black will be the ground. Unplug from your PC

7. Check continuity and solder the red from the AC adapter to the red on the USB cable and the ground to ground.
