when i move my head the sa5k loses sound on the right driver. What should i do? has anyone tried recabling on their own?

I've experienced exactly the same problem you have right now. Its most likely a fault/break in the cable leaving you with some options:

1) Determine where the break is using a voltmetre and repair it or remove that part of the cable provided it won't become too short, then resolder
2) Get a new cable and recable yourself
3) Get a new cable and get someone to recable it for you (cantsleep, [AK]Zip, Moon Audio etc)

I intially went for the first option and failed miserably because I have no soldering skills whatsoever

. If you know how to use a soldering iron and can work with cables then you do the recable yourself. I strongly suggest that you seek a replacement cable regardless of which option you take because the stock sa5000 cable is a pig to work with and there are more reliable cables.

Hope it works out

how do you open the sony sa5k?

Take off the pads and unscrew the 4 screws. The cable probably broke on the inside, which means that you have to get a whole new recable.

Alex told me the Sony SA5000 has the worst cable design he ever seen.. & Sony uses the exact same cable for the SA5000 as they do with the 1000/3000..
