Repair apex display cable? Has anyone done it?

TLR at the bottom. I think Neptune has build a pretty solid system with the Apex platform... but seriously the cable for the display; I've seen better build quality in single ply truck stop toilet paper.

I've seen plenty of reports of these cables being damaged but Neptune hasn't addressed the issue even in flagship model. If I can get a 6' gold plated USB cable from monoprice for >$2 why can't the Apex come with something besides conductive angel hair pasta?

The unit is out of warranty, Apex said they'll replace the cord for $40 give or take, but it just fix the flimsy issue.

TLR I want to replace (see need for solder) the Apex display wire with an actual USB cable. Does anyone have a walk through on this?
