Introduction
Follow this guide to replace the USB cable in your Logitech RS Shifter & Handbrake.
If your cable has a loose connection or won't connect at all, you may need to replace the USB cable.
Before starting this repair, try cleaning the port you're connecting the H‑Shifter into to ensure the problem is with the cable and not the port.
Note: This repair requires a long-shank Phillips screwdriver and a 3 mm ball-end hex key.
