yes, BTDT.
You have to locate the precise place of the interruption. Cut the cable there, remove a bit of the insulation.
Do a bit of soldering; the use of insulating material and of heat shrink tubing is recommended (for the inner wire *and* for the complete thing). Heat shrink tubing may serve as bend protection as well, otherwise use something extra as bend protection.
Done that several times. Well, the WAF of the result may be low ... ;-)
