Fix BERNINA Foot Controller - Newer Style - Sewing Machine 

Bernina sell the cables but they are not cheap. I have generic replacements available or you could do what the commenter below has done. Thanks.

I normally just pick them up from local electronics supply stores. Thanks.

Very few appliances and electronic items are repaired now. If it stops, discard it and buy a new one is the philosophy. Most are designed to be as cheap to make as possible with no thought of repairing. Even if spare parts are available the cost is often prohibitive. That said though, I have repaired quite a few items with generic parts at tiny cost. Some examples; •Many satellite boxes "dead" and two 5¢ resistors all that is needed. Original ones are under rated and installed higher rated ones. •Multiple TV sets and computer monitors will not start, only needing some capacitors replaced at cost of less than $10. •Computer power supplies nearly always same problem as one of the two examples above. •Remote controls suffered a drink spill. Cleaning the button contacts with isopropyl alcohol (small bottle cheap). Hardest part is cracking into them without damaging the case. My advice is, if this happens, remove batteries, give them a good soak in water -make sure you get as many bubbles out as possible- for a few hours, then shake as much water out as possible and put them in a dry place for a few days to fry out completely -prop up and turn around regularly to ensure water drains out fully. Not guaranteed but worth a go. Of course you have to know what you are doing. Some items can give you a nasty "bite"; been there, done that! Jeff (Australia)

Well I do try to repair things if they can be. Unfortunately, devices today are made to be difficult to repair and some manufacturers go out of their way to withhold information from the end user or consumer.
