How to Repair Dodgy or Broken Headphones: Part-16

[Md. Abrar Amin]

Connect the wires to the probes. Separate each of the three wires in your cable. Twist any frayed ends together so each wire has a thin tip. Tie these firmly to the jack plug as follows:[8]
Bare copper wire connects to the sleeve probe, the longest piece of metal. If there is no bare wire, connect the wire with striped insulation.
The remaining two (insulated) wires connect to the other two pins (the tip and ring probes). There's no universal color code for these. If you connect them the wrong way round, the left and right audio will be switched. The headphones will otherwise work fine.
