Yes! This worked! I first tried to repair an in-wall hdmi by following a tutorial using a solderless adapter, but after hours of matching wires to screw terminals it did not work. This technique did! Thank you!
@@ult1matewolf776 I did buy the same brand, but a shorter length. I doubt that’s necessary. Since the new end was cut from a shorter cable, its wires were a finer gauge and wanted to pull out of the splice connectors - I found that twisting each pair together about an inch from the end gave me enough to fit into the connectors and the thicker wire supported the finer wire so it stayed in the connector. Also, use pliers to push the connector firmly closed. Most of the time, the matching pairs were of the same color, which narrowed down the wires I needed to test before finding a match - this may have been bc I bought the same brand. But the last several pairs were of mismatched colors. Even though the connector doesn’t require that you strip the insulation from wire ends, I found it necessary to text them with the multimeter. Good luck!
@@ginah3585 thank you for your reply ! I’ve done it and it doesn’t seem to work, the hdmi display does register the device because it comes up with “Nintendo switch” so I’m sure it is connected correctly, did you do anything with the foils surrounding each core ? If I can’t sort it like this I’m gonna have to wreck the wall and replace the cable haha !
@@ult1matewolf776 oh, no! I removed and threw away any foil that was in the way, so basically had just 20 colored wires sticking out of each cord. I think the only thing I did that I found on another tutorial but not this one was to use a lighter to strip about 1/8 of an inch of insulation from each wire, even though the gel-filled connectors aren’t supposed to require stripping - without doing this I had a hard time getting the multimeter to make contact with each wire. When making all my connections, I remember thinking that if it didn’t work, I’d go back through each pair to make sure both wires were securely in the gel without pulling out or being pushed too far in and out the other side around the cap. Also, I remember when I initially started to have trouble, my tv still saw there was something plugged into the hdmi port, and it was only when I pulled the hdmi cord out of the port and the wires pulled away from the end that I realized it was broken. Maybe at least one of the connected pairs just isn’t secure. I hope you find it!
@@ginah3585 thanks again for your reply and advice. I also stripped all the cables down for the gel crimps. I’ll have a look at all my connections tonight as my Tv is like yourself registering that something is plugged in. Thank you 😊
Thanks! Just went to put in wall box where I had previously run pwr, cat6, coax and hdmi. However, I forgot that the drywall guy taped everything up at 50” (my photos all showed it down at 12-15”) so I cut the drywall…and the hdmi. Thankfully I didn’t cut network or romex. Your video is just what I needed to stop kicking myself in the head and get some hope! Thank you!
I just busted the end of my Wacom Cintiq 3-in-1 cable and Wacom themselves are out of stock! I did not pay a grand for a dead tablet. Your video rocks, thank you so much!
Thanks for posting this video. I know a lot of people are saying you could have simply solder the wires but I'm glad you were willing to show an alternative way. It may not be pretty but looks like it was definitely a lot of work. Thanks again for sharing your experience.
I had the same exact problem with breaking the end of a 50' HDMI cable that was run from a second floor pc to first floor TV. I wanted to see what I'd be getting into if I chose to repair the end. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. Now I feel confident that I can make the repair instead of spending over $80.00 and alot of time replacing the cable.
This video was a life saver! Just busted the end of the 50 foot hdmi cable that runs through wall and ceilings. I followed the instructions with a slight modification as I was unable to buy the same cable. Somebody recently asked what to do if the wires are different colors. Here is what I did: i pulled apart both cables (wall and replacement) and found all different color cables bundled together. My old cable had five groups of three wires and the new one had four groups. I used a digital multimeter to measure continuity and attached a small wire to the end of each probe. I diagramed the 19 holes for the connector and then attached one of my lines to one of the holes. I would then test each of the 19 wires until it indicated there was a connection. I would write down the color and whether or not it was single or in a bundle for each corresponding hole number. Once I mapped out my wall line I did the same for the replacement line and connected each one.Works great now! Thanks
Hi Techgooch, Thanks you saved my 'life'. I needed to get a HDMI cable down inside a cavity wall for my newly installed projector TV and the only way to do it, after trying various things, was too cut and re-join it. The only difference was that I soldered the two cable together and then inserted them in only one side of the connector. It works fine and I have popped the whole 'bouquet' into an old ice cream tub in the loft! Thanks again from the UK. Mark
Great video as I had exactly the same issue and was not brave enough to try this - now I will. One thing would be good to see though - the finished repair with all the spliced cables bound in foil and taped. It looks like the ‘bunch of flowers’ would be pretty bulky and therefore may not fit back into the wall plate. Be good to see what it looks like when you have finished trying to slim it down whilst sealing it all up. Great job!
Thanks for the video. I'm in the research stage with a broken HDMI plug and was trying to figure out the best way to fix it. I too have a 50 ft cable imbeded in my wall and ceiling that can't be removed and replaced without a major remodel. Im going to open the plug first, but if I can't repair it, Im following your video example next. Thanks so much for the posting. Scott
If you have your hdmi gold plate broke, and reveals the 24k contact/wires/gold bristles. I actually surprisingly fixed it and it worked! Just align the gold bristles back into the gold plate and it'll work (don't rush, or the fragile bristles will break.) Also make sure the bristles are bent (in the upper-mid way through, use tweezers to bend and align them) in order for it to get a contact with the socket-surface of your TV. Mine worked, Hope this helps!
Can you share the link for the different wire splice connectors yyou used? My in wall HDMI just bent and I need to repair it. Also can you please confirm that with the slice connectors you do not need to strip the wires? Thank you!!!
Hi there...great video for me as the connector of my 50' hdmi cable that is running behind the wall from my basement to the first floor of my house just decided to stay in my receiver when I removed the hdmi cable from it! Although it is simpler than the soldering solutions i saw out there (!) it is still a bit daunting. I will let you know what happens!
Neat video. I have two broken cables meant for in wall but were never installed as such. The company I ordered mine from was awesome enough to send me new free ones, so I have no immediate need to fix the old but I might see if I can make a good franken cable out of them.
You sir, are a tremendous help. A carpenter cut my two HDMIs that were run to ceiling TVs...*facepalm*...just spliced it open to see he only severed one of the wires! I haven't had time to work on it yet, but this gave me a good idea of what to expect if it doesn't work. I wasn't going to splice, rather just connect them directly and/or solder.
thank u gooch!! what a mess, but thanks to your video I didn't give up, I did it, and sure enough the two good ends of my two HDMI cables successfully spliced into one working HDMI cable! takes time and patience but if this girl can do it with nothing but electrical tape and foil so can anyone!
I started with the snap splice connectors. They didn't work. Then I manually spliced and covered with heat shrink. Still didn't work. Then I covered the splice area with foil. Immediately it worked! I didn't even bother to go back and individual shield the sub groups of wires. Picture looks good as new. The snap splices were probably fine, but again the shielding was the trick. What I thought were bad connections was just interference. Shielding is the key.
Have a newish Onkyo receiver. HDMI out stopped working, used to be able to get it to work by wiggling it around a bit. Changed cables with known good ones, but nothing. Is it possible to repair/replace the female HDMI out connection in the back of the receiver, or is it a lost cause?
Nice video. I am trying to do this... I bought the same cables but different lengths. The wires inside of the 5 bundles are the same color but the 4 separate wires that are not in a bundle are different colors. One is blue, green, brown, grey and the other cable has maroon, orange, grey, white and the white is bigger than the other wires. Any idea which colors should be connected to each other? I have tried a couple combinations but nothing has worked yet.
Thats great man! Working in a very small space I'm gonna need to cut an hdmi to shorten it so it fits, and everything I found online said its not worth trying...but they don't seem to make a cable small enough. This gave me the confidence to give it a shot.
Thanks this is a very helpful video. I'm about to take this same approach and was wondering if you stripped the end of each wire before putting them in the splicers or if you just insert the insulated wires?
Thanks. Is there any loss of HD quality after this? And what about soldering them instead followed by heat shrink? Please let me know your thoughts, I am in a tough situation with a HDMI cable that is my walls....the head broke off :(
Hey Gooch, that being a remodel box in the wall, would you not have benefited from pulling the box free from the wall and have your "hematoma" in the wall cavity?
solder them and use small gauge heatshrink on internal cables and use a thick heatshrink to finished cable it only increases the diameter by a small amount and is quicker and makes better contact.
hi sir, i have a 1 meter long hdmi but i need 7meter lenght. I am planing to extend it by cutting it in the middle and reconnecting it with my 2pcs. lan cable to make it longer ...do you think this would work? I appriciate it if you reply tnx.....
@gumball waterson Yes I think it should work any cable can do the job as long as you now which you linked to each end im planning on mine but not too sure
Just ordered an identical cable to the one inside my wall. Unlike the scenario in the video, running a new cable is not an option. Gonna try soldering and using liquid electrical tape. I hope this works. :-\
TYTYTYTY! I was banging my head against the wall after i accidentally ripped the head off my hdmi to dvi cable and i didn't want to wait a week for one to ship.. Never would have thought to splice it. YOU ARE AMAZING!!! :D and still the only vid of this kind!
People who go on DIY videos and say "just buy a new one". Why do you watch these videos? If we wanted to buy a new one, i'm sure we'd do that before watching these. People watch these to learn and to gain experience and to save time and money in the future. if a cable gets damaged, you already have the tools and knowledge to fix it yourself in like 20 or 30 minutes. Or you could spend your time and money to replace everything that breaks (every time it happens) and not learn how to fix things yourself.
I can't seem to find a video where someone puts on the the thing around the wires. I'm talking about the gold plated part. It fell right off and the cable was $50.
Thanks for another great video Gooch! I give you an extra shout out for having the patience for reparing your existing cable. I appreciate a good challenge and I thank you for sharing the knowledge, but I think I would have just gone on eBay and bought one :) Please keep the great video's coming!!!
Hei, we want to see how to built from scratch. From raw hook up wire to finish product, include cable hook up wire twisting, then use Alum wrap it, then Braided shield it, then PTFE Tube insert it & Shrink it. Plus Last add colour Sleeving to it. Do u know how to do it is the Key Point? Pls show us a Video on how to do it.
I did everything in the video and nothing worked. I am going to try it again but I do wish there was a way I could just buy a new hdmi end and just crimp it back on.
Holy crap you've got a LOT of time on your hands! : ) Thanks for the info, knowing that it can be done, though. I still think I would've went to Best Buy and saved myself the headache and time! : )
good idea.. BUT! you had that spare cat-6 hanging out of the wall, why didn't you just terminate the cat-6 with an RJ45, buy a single cat-5/6 HDMI balun and run your HI-DEF signal over the cat-6 that way? saves you splicing the HDMI cable with bubble crimps and overall botching a cable? :D
I have an embedded HDMI cable running from my equipment cabinet to my 1080-i projector and accidentally broke the end off at the equipment cabinet. The cable I cut to splice had different wire colors than the one in the wall. Rather than diagramming the HDMI plug, I borrowed 2 HDMI female/female adaptors and a 20' HDMI cable, plugged one end into the cable at the projector, plugged the cut and stripped back HDMI stub into the other end and then continuity tested one pair at a time to determine the match. I did not use bulky wire connectors. Instead, I stripped the tip of each wire, tinned them with solder (25 watt soldering pencil mounted on a stand) slipped a 1/2" length of heat shrink tubing over the wire before touching them together and touching the soldering pencil tip. (pull to make sure its a good connection) I used foil tape on the 4 shielded pairs and electrical tape over the foil. After all of the splices were made I coaxed the braided shield over the splice, used foil tape and electrical tape over the foil and Voila - good as new! The projector has no problem doing Blu-ray DVDs again.
Hey, can I splice an xbox 360 video/audio - DVI+sound in to a HDMI - DVI+sound. So the part i want 2 change is the video/audio in to a HDMI. Please help. :)
+techgooch Yeah I have thought there is no point chopping a perfectly good cable that can be used on something else when its cheap enough to buy a 3 metre and not put much of a dent
We have tried this 3 times and double double checked and didn't work. Not sure what we are doing wrong. We even rejoined the new HDMI cable we cut (colour to colour) and that didn't work either. ??
You know, these things are very finicky and it's hard to say what is going wrong. Like I said before, I got lucky it seems and didn't have to rerun mine through the wall. fast forward today, and I don't use it anymore, it just chills in my wall as I enjoy wireless communication!
i want to know how to cut and join hdmi cable to rca cable for a tv which does not use hdmi but uses rca that is (red, white, and yellow). pls i need help someone to help me
+Richard Abeka there is a converter at radio shack which has a plug in for the hdmi and it has the red white and yellow cables so it basiclly turns ur hdmi into an rca i did with my tv hope i helped!☺
Yes! This worked! I first tried to repair an in-wall hdmi by following a tutorial using a solderless adapter, but after hours of matching wires to screw terminals it did not work. This technique did! Thank you!

Maybe a new one run it behind the baseboard and door trim or behind the crown moulding.

my hd cable is off in midlle so can i just pull them out like you did and braze them together?
Do you think this can be done on an hdmi 2.1 cable?
Could you use small wire nuts to make a joint?

do you think i could fix mine without splicers i dont have any so i was thinkin on just twistin the right wires together?
Do they have to be the same brand?
Nice ! It really helped me out with my new monitor ! Thank you.
Can I connect a mini USB to a HDMI to connect to my indroid phone and TV to watch on TV via indroid

ConnorReviewsandMore same
Did you get a new tv yet?
thank you so much. that was really useful
Good job on the video, i need to fix my cable! Keep it up fixing videos;)
twist & tip the conductors would have taken less of a build up rather than using Scotch locks which made the spiced connection bulky .
i would solder the wires and then re shield them the solder needs to be precise and minimal and reshielding is a must
That would definitely be the best way
My chromcast ..WiFi and power point cable is damage how to fix solution.. Plz plz
Solution worked great, thank you!
Glad it is still relavent
mine broke on the other side how much is it when u buy another 1 at walmart
Thanks for another great video Gooch! I give you an extra shout out for having the patience for reparing your existing cable. I appreciate a good challenge and I thank you for sharing the knowledge, but I think I would have just gone on eBay and bought one :)

Thanks man. I’m about to run a wire thru the wall and will have to cut off the head and put it back on haha.
do u have to wrap the foil that u said in the end
No, but it does help from outside noise
I have a question !
I did everything in the video and nothing worked. I am going to try it again but I do wish there was a way I could just buy a new hdmi end and just crimp it back on.
good work, thank you mate.
I’m just trying to get a 10 ft through the wall and I have to cut the head off, I’ll figure it out

After all of the splices were made I coaxed the braided shield over the splice, used foil tape and electrical tape over the foil and Voila - good as new! The projector has no problem doing Blu-ray DVDs again.
Surely you just solder them?
Yes you can...but I wasn't about to spend time on that if it didn't work. Thankfully it did!
Wouldn't soldering be neater and easier?
Neater, not easier
+techgooch OK agreed! :D
🖕👍 I will going to try tomorrow ..
Hey, can I splice an xbox 360 video/audio - DVI+sound in to a HDMI - DVI+sound. So the part i want 2 change is the video/audio in to a HDMI. Please help. :)
Ha! Just got a call from him...he figured it out. Thanks anyways!
I need to extend mine by like 1metre i need three metre i only have 2 just a few inches short i bought a lead hdmi to vga but it no work
I would just replace it
+techgooch Yeah I have thought there is no point chopping a perfectly good cable that can be used on something else when its cheap enough to buy a 3 metre and not put much of a dent

We have tried this 3 times and double double checked and didn't work. Not sure what we are doing wrong. We even rejoined the new HDMI cable we cut (colour to colour) and that didn't work either. ??
You know, these things are very finicky and it's hard to say what is going wrong. Like I said before, I got lucky it seems and didn't have to rerun mine through the wall. fast forward today, and I don't use it anymore, it just chills in my wall as I enjoy wireless communication!
This is a bad idea.

Great work but tedious. Have you tried this site "blue echo solutions" they seem to have this down to a science?
GOOCH

i want to know how to cut and join hdmi cable to rca cable for a tv which does not use hdmi but uses rca that is (red, white, and yellow). pls i need help someone to help me
You cannot do that. HDMI send Digital HD Resolution signal. RCA only support Analog SD Resolution Signal. Sorry.
Oh.....ok
Thank you

How to convert the HDMI to a USB and S4 ACTIVE CHARGER FOR THE TV
Haven't seen anything that ugly for a long time ! I would have tried to solder a new hdmi connector.
+patrice373 well, since it is in a wall, looks don't matter!
it matters even more, inner beauty. But I give you micro soldering an hdmi connector must be daunting. i might post a video if I do it.
+patrice373 especially not knowing if it is going to work
has to be done well, with a jig, rigth iron/tip and practice
what u r trying to say

Ofcouse this is gonna work... No logic to this. Just common sence. And basic electrical work.
Dominic genesis sence lol. The irony
Or you could just buy a new one.
CodyL95 or if you have a oculus rift hdmi issues like myself and the other end is different.
Cloudy unless your mum wont let you
Or unless your broke... like me.

Your camera needs to be on a stand, also your volume is very low

too much work, instead of going to the store to get the wire connectors i would just get a new HDMI
just use simple solder and heat shrink fucking hell that's ugly....
10 minutes drive to best buy
