USB Phone

Step 3 Prep the USB cable

Ok so if you looked at all at the chip, you'd see that one cord went to the headset portion, and the other went to the usb end. We'll be preparing the new usb cord for use now. I recommend you get one that matches the color of your phone. So we got a black one. You cut off the 'B' end to it (the smaller, more squarish end), and then strip some of the end of the wire down to where you see four individual wires. Then you want to strip each of these wires so you maybe have a little less than an inch of actual wire showing. For each wire, individually make them as thin as possible by using your fingers to straighten them out and twist them just a bit to make them straight. Then begin the tinning process, which is where we prepare the wires for soldering in the next step. Take a bit of solder with one hand and the soldering iron with the other, and proceed to add solder around each wire individually by heating up the opposite side of the wire to where the solder is actually touching. See the video for a low-lit demonstration.
