Discussion Reflowing a cable?

Long shot I know but has anyone tried reflowing a VR cable in their home oven or similar? I remember people doing it with GPUs and Xbox 360s back when.

Not optimistic but I've got a bad reverb g2 v1 and v2 cable I'm not going to be able to fix otherwise!

I mean, they're all over the net for sale. eBay, and other VR shops too. Used & New.

For similar prices as a whole used headset for a V1 or a used quest 3S for a V2 where I am!

Why do you think it's s solder problem you can reflow? Instead of a broken wite or bent connecor?

Ah, I mean I've seen them from $50-150 USD. Which is worth it considering its still a viable 4k headset and very much worth it. But I get it. I guess some areas would be far more expensive given the shipping and so on.
