    Default Question for technically type people

    I have a sort of dodgy lead and i measured it with an ohm meter and it says about 7ohms. Is it fit for the bin basically?

    Very few leads are ever fit for the bin. Unless it has a moulded plug it can usually be fixed.
    In the image of God? You must be joking!

    Yeah, a lead reading 7 ohms between tip-tip or sleeve-sleeve is goosed as far as leads go.

    As Gleber says, if you can unscrew/pull the plugs apart then it can most likely be resoldered.
