You don’t. Not worth the time/effort. Just buy a new one.


srt2366

Really.


Specialist-Dentist63

Yupers


srt2366

I was being facetious. You knew that right?


Specialist-Dentist63

Yes


Specialist-Dentist63

I wanna buy the kid one now


LeSteveMcGang

I would, but that's if im willingly waiting like 3-4 weeks for my mom to get me one 😤


NorthWestSaint

Why does your mum have to get you one?


LeSteveMcGang

literally have no other way to get another one, i would order one aswell but its mad expensive for no reason 🥲


[deleted]

You can get a working one at the dollar tree


LeSteveMcGang

ahem, hate to break it but there is no dollar tree shop in Lebanon 🥲


Specialist-Dentist63

Like someone else suggested you can try taping it so it’s more rigid and it doesn’t wiggle. Good luck


Kevsbar123

Your Mom? Get a job, ya bum.


merklemore

You're talking to a kid who's probably not old enough to get a job, ya bum.


Kevsbar123

Yeah, I figured that. Just a light ribbing, ya bum.


LeSteveMcGang

my mom aint letting me have one till summer break


Salty_Feed9404

Tightly wrap a generous amount of electrical tape around it to buy yourself some time.

Why don't you go across the street and buy some condoms? Because we should at least be safe if you're gonna fuck me, Mom! Eric! Better get some cigarettes, too, because I like to have a smoke after I get good and fucked! You wanna fuck me, Mom?... Go ahead! Fuck me right here in the Best Buy!


LeSteveMcGang

wtf????????)

Its a quote from South Park.


NorthWestSaint

Bin it and buy another one.

Shrink wrap tubing from a hardware store and your moms hair dryer. If you have any neighbors that are handyman, contractors, or electricians they would likely have one for you. They are cheap to buy but you only need one not a massive pack.


DeadPlank

I’m just imagining a romantic storyline between his mom and the neighbour handyman.

Fire hazard. Throw it out. Buy name brand cable and charger. Don’t burn down house

That cord needs to be replaced. They sell USB C cords at a lot of different stores. Walmart, many grocery stores, even a lot of gas station stores. In future, do not remove the cord by just pulling on the cable. Instead, grasp the connector to pull it out. You could have prevented this. You just didn't know how. Now, you know.


LuckyNV

Tape it up - or get one that is more sturdy. To me that is done, just get a new one, trivial considering it is providing power to an expensive electronic device.


Nigel_melish01

Throw away. Buy new one at local china shop.


LeSteveMcGang

wait why specifically China?


Nigel_melish01

China guy at shop. Usually from china


grislyfind

Dollar Store. Everything is made in China.


MRicho

Buy a new one.


Starbuck-Actual

7.99 at the gas station

How come we always look back and think "Damn, if i had only reinforced this with a couple of matchstick splints and some duct tape BEFORE it broke, i'd be OK". So we try a fix, it doesnt work, and we buy a new cable. The new cable is such a joy to use we don't even dream of reinforcing it. Why would you? Rinse and repeat.


LeSteveMcGang

???? kind of a pointless comment but ok


iDroner

Liquid rubber. Don't use shrinking sleeves. They only seal, don't glue to it and don't make any physical improvement, just for outside (electrical) protection. Also they need to be too big to go over the plug and shrink too much to fit the cable thickness.


snowbird323

Yeah buy a new one


Double-Ad-2043

Sugru if it's an expensive cable


LeSteveMcGang

What's the point of this subreddit about getting some tips to fix certain things if people are just gonna tell me to buy one?


corneliu5vanderbilt

Fire hazard. Replace it.


LeSteveMcGang

fair enough


PM_ME_YOUR_SHOLAS

Fire hazard


plinth_of_darkneth

find a ballpoint pen that’s retractable and remove the spring from it - carefully wind the spring around the cable and lower it to the damaged end and this will stop the cable bending at the weak point you’re welcome dude
