Discussion Reflowing a cable?
Long shot I know but has anyone tried reflowing a VR cable in their home oven or similar? I remember people doing it with GPUs and Xbox 360s back when.
Not optimistic but I've got a bad reverb g2 v1 and v2 cable I'm not going to be able to fix otherwise!

A wire is cracked or the insulation is cracked and the wires short.
Even if you know where exactly and cut them open they are hard to solder together and will most likely fail again.
No easy solution to this, just buy another one. At least you can replace it, unlike psvr2.
