Hello,

For a temp fix, if you have a little cable to play with where it has snapped, you can repair with an electrical connecting block (choccy block). Poke both ends of the snapped cable into either end of the connecting block, tighten both screws and you have a temporary fix. Other than that, a new cable will have to be fitted.
