I bought a luna 16 core cable from china and the headphone jack is shorted out. instead of dealing with china and postage want to try and fix. I have never done anything like this before so maybe better taking it somewhere to fix??? any step by step guide? being 16 core braid it has 4 strands once removed from 3.5mm jack. all the wires were glued not soldered on and I cant tell which strand does what....
need help on fixing 3.5mm headphone jack

Start looking through the DIY Cable and Comments thread right here in the DIY section. You'll find the answers in there.
1. I doubt seriously the wires are glued. It's probably just a solder joint that you don't recognize as such. Maybe the flux is obscuring the joint, could be a new type of ROHS solder, etc.
2. Unfortunately, you're not going to find anyone - unless it's a friend or relative - to fix a cable and connector for any sort of economic price that you'd be willing to pay (less than buying another cable).
