I have, at this moment, reached the end of my rope. I've spent the last month and a half trying to get my tablet back into working order following damage to the usb cable. The Wacom repair tech told me that it would fairly simple for someone with electronic experience to solder the end of the cable that goes into the tablet onto a new USB, but I dont' possess the know-how to do this. Neither, apparently, does any repair shop in a ten mile radius of this town. Someone I know was kind enough to find and solder the damaged bit of cable onto a healthier part of the current cable, a repair that worked for about a week. Now I've decided that this whole soldering thing is too iffy, and I'm going to try to build a new cable using a standard USB and a new connector to the wacom's circuitboard.
The problem? I have no idea what the connector, and Wacom's understandably mum about any information that would help me as far as that goes. The ideal outcome to this whole mess would be discovering that it's a connector I could find a pre-existing cable that I could simply plug into my wacom and be happy. Sadly, it's looking like that won't be the case.
If anyone has any idea what this part is, I'd be endlessly appreciative.
The absolute worst-case scenario would be me sending it back to Wacom and ponying up $80+ dollars for them to do what I could do perfectly well myself if they hadn't stopped selling replacement cables for my model.
