If I feel it is too difficult, i will search for a visual aid

Got any tutorials I might benefit from looking at?

Do you own a soldering iron and have solder with flux in it?

It would be a nice new skill, and I cant see without glasses anyway.
I have the cord still that connects to the printer, would that work?

Things you would need:
A cord that you could cut and strip
A soldering iron (nothing special $10 at walmart)
Some solder (probably included with the iron)
Willingness to learn a new skill.

Let me know how you'd like to proceed.

That is more than I could have hoped for
