Agreed. I'm just not willing to take the risk however, lol.

Understood. How far along did you cut the cable? I ask because if you can take apart the display unit to see how it's connected you may just be able to shorten the cable, no?

[Doug]

It cut right close to controller. I did take it apart to see but never lifted circuit board when the wires go. I can barely see the wires. Not sure how I would reconnect without proper equipment. I ordered a new one from RS. Perhaps I will send mind to Apex and see if they can fix it.

Except for the much larger plug on the end

and I had to order another temp probe, as I tripped over mine pulling both ends out................

Mine did the same thing well kinda the wire broke at the usb connection now I can't calibrate probes etc what a pain the wire is so thin what were they thinking.

That's so you buy there over priced cables, all mine are from the dollar store

I just ordered some over priced cables....

My friend is going to have a look at it. If he can't repair, perhaps you wish to take a shot at it.

I just took it apart. Its a 4 wire system. Each of the tiny wires has two wires. Almost invisible to my old eyes.
