20240310: swapping 10 with 9, and 7 with 6 (polarity reversals) has given me 1080 60fps on Win 10 with Logitech Capture, but now my Linux PC doesn't recognize the camera.

In this guide, a 6-foot USB-3.0 extension cable (female and male type-A plugs) was the donor part. The female plug was cut off with several inches of cable, so that it could be repurposed; the male end and cable is used in this repair.

If the distal USB-C plug of the original cable is the only defect, you may alternatively or preferentially choose to replace it with a USB 3.0 type-C or type-A plug -- rather than replacing the entire cable. You can then retain the sturdy original retention collar and greatly simplify the soldering work.
