I used sissors to strip the cables but you can use any tool you like to strip the cable. Then strip down the metal shields of the wire pairs so they will be exposed, next remove about 3mm of the inner wires so the core will be exposed. Next: Peel of 2 cm from the cable and get some room between the wires.Īs you can see we have a few wires (for display detection, 5 volt power, clock speed and data) in beautiful colors.Īnd 4x 2 pairs of wires in a colorfull metal shield, these are the data wires for the picture and sound.īefore you begin, slide the first part from the connector on, its a common mistake to have the connector in place and then realise that you needed to slide that one on first. You can use a wire diagram but I found out that many dont seem to be the same or are not the same as my Hdmi cable, so I recommend using this procedure because it should always be right! It will only show that there is practically no resistance when you hit the right wire.

Next photo is the setup, I set my multimeter for 20K since I dont a have beeper mode on it. (I used some tape to hold it in place, not professional but it works.

(see photo) Thats the way to make contact with that end. I used a little wire to make a connection with the end that was still working, the front of the Hdmi connector has little holes where you can push the test-wire into. First we need to know which connection is going where, since both Hdmi internal connections are the same (no twisted wires or anything like ethernet patch cables) the pinout is very straight forward.īut ones the cable is cut you cannot measure which wire comes from which pin, so I used a multimeter to check which wire belongs to which pin.
