Instructions
Hold one end of the Microsoft cable with the seam at one side of the connector facing up. Press the point of a flat-edged jeweler's screwdriver into the seam. Run the tip back and forth from side to side inside the seam. Repeat this procedure on the seam at the other side of the connector. Insert the tip of a flat-edged screwdriver into the seam at one side and pull the two connected shells apart from each other. Pull one of the connector shells off the other with your fingers and place it aside.
Insert the tip of the flat-edged screwdriver into the seam of the plate at the edge of the cable inside the connector. Twist the tip until the plate becomes loose. Pull the plate off. Remove the connection shell from the cabling electronics and place it aside.
Pry up the metal plate that is attached to the cabling electronics with the tip of the flat-edged screwdriver. Bend the metal plate back with a pliers.
Grip the edge of the interior lid that is inside the cavity that was covered by the metal plate with a pliers. Use a needle-nose pliers if you are unable to grip the edge. Pull the lid back from the cabling. Twist the lid back and forth until it breaks off. Dispose of the lid in the trash.
Remove the black electrical tape that was coffered by the lid and dispose of it in the trash. Insert the tip of the flat-edged jeweler's screwdriver beneath the tab on the circuit board inside the cavity that is opposite the other two tabs. Twist the tap up. Repeat this procedure with the two tabs on the circuit board, only first clip through the side of each tab with a metal snipper.
Grip the plug attached to the circuit board that is in a socket on the metal shielding assembly with a tweezers. Pull the plug out of the socket. Place the circuit board on the work surface. Cut through the end of the metal shelling assembly with the metal snippers. Place strips of electrical tape over the cut end.
Heat up the soldering iron for five minutes. Apply the tip of the soldering iron to each pin on the circuit board that has a wire attached to it for five seconds. Pull the wires off the pins. Touch the tip for one second to each of the pins that has glue on its end. Pull the glue off with the tweezers.
Apply a drop of solder to each pin. Let the solder cool for two minutes before continuing. Place the circuit board on its side so that the pins at the end of the connector are facing you. Rotate the circuit board 180 degrees clockwise if necessary so that the pin at the rightmost side that is between the two other rows of pins is slightly to the left of the two rows.
Solder the end of the red wire to the top leftmost pin on the connector. Solder the end of the green wire to the pin next to the one just soldered. Solder the end of the blue wire to the pin next to the one just soldered. Let the solder cool for two minutes.
Solder the off-white wire that has "H" written on it to the third pin from the left on the bottom row. Solder the other off-white wire to the pin next to the one just soldered. Let the solder cool for two minutes while you unplug the soldering iron.
Place the plug from the circuit board back into the socket on the metal plate assembly. Place the board back into the plate. Place the lid back into position and tape it down with a strip of electrical tape. Wrap strips of electrical tape around the two shells to hold them together.
