Hi, I have a a-5 w/ egrip. I accidentally snapped off one of the wires, was curious if anyone give me an idea of how much that will cost to fix.

thanks

About 2 cents if you know how to use a soldering iron.

If the wire broke off at the board, most likely there will be a solder bead left with the end of the wire still in it, heat it up just until it melts and use some needle nose pliars to remove the old wire end.

Then its just a simple matter of stripping the end off the wire, heating the solder bead, and sticking the wire back in.

Don't forget to cover the exposed wire with electrical tape.

This sig is brought to you by Psyrecx, thanks to D-Town Balla.

And since new wire is being exposed there needs to be a little flux used so the solder will "tin" to the wire.
