I dunno if I can describe this that well without using pictures, but here I go. If you have the standard Tip/Ring/Sleeve plug (either 3.5mm tip or 6.3mm tip with 3 contacts), the right + should be the middle contact point (ring), the left + should be the tip contact point, and the - for both should be the sleeve contact point. Use a multimeter with either a connectivity detector or the ohmmeter function and figure out which wire at the connector end is the + and which is the - end and you should be good to go. If you've soldered stuff and know how to use a multimeter, it shouldn't be too hard of a repair. Good luck!
I'm totally new to this, so you'll have to forgive me, but how can I tell the positive and negative wires apart?
