+[title] Removing the shielding plate
+[* black] An Apple cable has a much more robust 30-pin connector than cheaper non-Apple cables. There are 2 plates soldered to the back of the connector - one on the top and another on the bottom. Cheaper connectors do not have these shielding plates.
+[* black] Access to the circuit board is by removing the plate with 2 smaller solder points almost at the corners.
+[* black] Keeping the 2 solder points hot, work a flat bladed knife carefully into the edge so as to not cut the wires behind until the plate releases.
