the big dill Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Hello Neowin! My sisters Hamster got away a few days ago and chewed through a hard to replace cable... :( I was wondering if anyone could assist me in which direction to go in terms of replacing this cable? Cheers, Phil. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1023102-z-5500-control-pod-wire-damaged/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

hjf288 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 They don't do spare control pods.. I'd recommend sourcing a replacement or splicing the cable and attaching new wire then heat shrink it Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1023102-z-5500-control-pod-wire-damaged/#findComment-594283240 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeakerMan Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Similar problem here... Trusty faithful Z500 unit playing up and isolated to control cable. It's like $500 or so to upgrade to a unit that is as good or better. What a waste of money. So I am wondering if I can just repair this control cable. Any ideas please. The images above don't work (cannot be found). So I am hoping I can just splice the cable on to a new connector.
