Flowing Effect MicroUSB Data+Charging Cable

Post by walterrijke »

Hi,

I bought a Flowing Effect MicroUSB Data+Charging Cable - Black w/Aqua EL on 28 August, 2013.
It worked fine (awesome effect!), but last week the EL flowing effect stopped working. Charging / data transfer is still working.

So I opened the case of the charging cable, see attached photo.
On the photo you see a red wire which came loose, apparently...

I think it's just a quick fix, but I have to know where to attach this wire to?

With kind regards,

Walter

I've never pulled one of those apart to know.. I'll ask someone to look, but they may decide it's better to send you a whole new cable.

Let's just get you a new one..

Send a note to [email protected] with a link to this thread and the folks there will send you a replacement. If you want to open that one up to see where the wire should connect, go for it.

Matter of fact, if you do get the first one fixed, post back and I'll send you a Reverse Engineering skill badge. ;-)

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the support, I have sent an e-mail.
Of course I'll try to fix it ;)
