Hi all
I have an Apple in-ear earphone and its right side is not working. Im thinking of fixing it, but I dont know where to start
1) How would I know its a jack issue or its the internal cable that is spoilt? Ive tried wigging the jack around but the right side still stays stubbornly mute. (If it was a jack problem, it should at least crackle and play intermittent music right?)
2) If its the jack that has issues, how do i resolder it? ( I do know how to solder, but i was wondering if there are any extra wires in it since its a microphone version which i should be aware of)
3) If its the wires that are causing this problem, anyone one who has re-cabled earphones of similar type before have any help/tips on how to open the earphone casing?
All help is appreciated!
