The most unreliable part about headphones is the wire. It can be transferred, rubbed, torn, etc. What if the wire is no longer transmitting a signal? You can go to the store and buy new headphones, or you can try to fix it.
Instructions
Step 1
Examine the headphone wires carefully. Find the place where they are damaged. Most often, a tear occurs near the plug, near the headphones themselves, less often somewhere in the middle of the cable or directly in the headphones themselves, if the wire is not fixed by anything at the entrance to the case. Depending on the location of the tear, you will have to use different methods of repair.
Step 2
Take a soldering iron. You will need it in all cases. So, if the headphone wire is frayed or broken somewhere in the middle, do the following. Carefully cut out the damaged section of the wire. Strip the contacts long enough to be soldered.
Step 3
Never use a knife or lighter for stripping. Place the wire on a board and run the soldering iron over it several times. The insulation will be removed cleanly and tidily. Take rosin or a special composition for soldering FS-1.
Step 4
Process their contacts. Then take the tin. Type it a little on a heated soldering iron and solder the contacts so that there are no tin jumpers left between them. Take duct tape. Gently wrap the solder joint.
Step 5
Take the knife. If the wire is frayed near the plug itself, you will have to remove its case, because there is no way to expose a long enough contact for soldering. In this case, you will have to solder directly to the pins of the plug. As a rule, the plugs on the headphones are molded.
Step 6
Remove the protective plastic layer. Take a soldering iron. Use it to remove the remnants of contacts from the soldering point on the plug. Expose the contacts on the wire itself.
Step 7
Solder the wires in exactly the same way as they were soldered before, i.e. red in place of red, etc. Wrap the plug with electrical tape. If the wires come off the headphones themselves, proceed in the same way as with the plug. Disassemble the headphone case and solder the pins in the same way as they were soldered before.
