Default Repairing an S-Video cable

"M.Joshi" wrote in message
...

Hello,

I am trying to repair a professional S-Video cable. I replaced a
connector on one end as one of the pins had broken however, I'm not
able to get continuity to one of the signal pins on the other end.

I have checked the solder joints on the new connector and they
check-out fine.

Does anyone know of an easy method to detect where the break might be
in the cable before I cut the other connector?

I have tried using a tone injector/tracer (for telecoms. cables)
however, as the signal is so strong, it couples onto the cable even if
is just placed nearby.

Any advice/tips would be grateful.


P.S. Why are there so many unrelated advertising/religious propaganda
posts on this thread? It seems that it is not being moderated
regularly?

Try checking capacitance between "pairs" from both ends.
