Buena guia, faltaria poder ver donde va soldado cada cable, he llevado mi cable a reparar y me lo han devuelto peor de lo que estaba, veo que han usado un cable de 4 hilos mas masa pero el original es de 5 hilos mas masa.

podria decirme donde van soldados los cables por la parte que va de la caja al usb ? ( el tramo corto )

Gracias

Hipolito, pudíste arreglar el problema?

Yo tengo un DK2 que compré usado y vino sin la caja conectora del sensor. Hay forma de fabricar alguna? Reemeplazarla por alguna otra cosa?

Desde ya gracias.

Puedes conectar directamente el cable del sensor a las gafas, levantas la Tapita de goma que tiene y ahí lo conectas, con un alargador funciona correctamente también
