How to fix headphones?

If you are using headphones, most likely, you understand that sooner or later, they will stop working, and you will have to buy new ones. It should also be understood that not every problem and breakage will be fatal for your headphones. Many crashes in this accessory are just a small problem that can be corrected independently and continue with pleasure to use them.

Search for a problem

In order to fix broken headphones, you must first reveal the problem and its reason, and only after that, to correct it. We reveal the problem:

Connect the headphones to the gadget, turn on the music and begin to bend the cable into one, then to the other side. In case the sound is intermittent, it means to repair the headphone cable will need.
If the sound is disappeared, try to press the plug. If such an action returned the sound, it means that the plug is required.
If the sound disappeared when the headphones are connected to the device, try to take other headphones and disconnect the headphones from them, and connect to yours if the sound appears, it means that the repair requires a speaker.
In the event that the cable from headphones do not disconnect, then you need to set the multimeter.

So, in case the problem fails, then it is necessary to get a multimeter and use it. Such a device can be found in a specialized store or ask for radio amateurs (they definitely have it). In addition to the multimeter, you also need a knife, preferably acute.

First, configure the device:

At the multimeter, you need to press a button that will start checking the electrical conductivity (in most cases, this button is indicated by the symbol -)))
Black probe is inserted into the hole where there is a sign - som
Red dipstick in turn, you need to insert into a hole marked with the following symbols - Ma or Ω
Now proceed to the multimeter test. In the event that no breaks are in the wire, the device will publish certain sounds. You need to take a cooked knife prepared and get rid of isolation on the wire, only very carefully, to completely not cut the cable itself:
Cuts need to be done in two places - one near the headset, the second - not far from the plug.
Do not forget that the wire from copper, as a rule, has a transparent coating to protect, it is necessary to remove it with a sharp object (in our case a knife).
First, apply a black shore directly to the wire to one section, and the red dipstick is to another. In the event that the verification device erupts the signal, it means that the problem lies in the headset or the plug.
In the event that there are no sounds, you should cut the cable in the middle and check each part of it.

In general, it will be necessary to make cuts and a similar check until the multimatre is stored.

Repair cable

As mentioned earlier, we first find the cause of the breakdown, and if it turns out that the problem in the cable, proceed to its repair:

We find the place of fracture, and shuffle for cleaning the wires remove the coating on the cable, but only external. It is necessary to clean about one and a half centimeters of the braid, which is located outside. The incision will need to continue until the location is found, that is, the breakdown itself.

Cut in half the cord itself. If the cord is splitting, then it will have to trim it from both sides. Do not forget that in this case it will also be necessary to trim and from the left, and from the right cord the same amount. If the cords are unequal length, the likelihood that headphones will be damaged, large enough.
Everything will be much easier, if only one wire has become unsuitable, in this case, it is simply necessary to go to the next stage of repair, namely to the spike.
The shrink tube is an excellent assistant in this case, because it is necessary to wear it on the bare wire, after the overhaul will be carried out. If the wire is cut in several places, the heat shrinking tube must be won by each of them.
We turn to the stage of splicing of wires, if we speak easier, then we simply connect the wires with each other. This process can be carried out in two ways - a twist in a line or twist with a spiral. It is worth noting that it is easier to hide it easier for a linear twist.

The last step will be the soldering all the connections, after which they wear a shrink tube for each pappy.

Repair the broken plug

If the plug came into disrepair, it is necessary to buy a new one. The optimal option will be the purchase of this connector in the online store, so you can save and get the original part for the device. The main thing is that the new item is identical to the size of the old:

Take out the old plug. Most often, this part is simply unscrewed from the cable, in the case of its solder to the plastic, it will have to trim it, not forgetting to retreat some place from the connector itself.
Now it will be necessary to bargain the wire, then attach a new item to the cable.

The last stage of repairing this problem will be the connection of wires to the contacts and directly the wire clip on the contacts.

Repair of the speaker

First you need to disassemble the headset itself. Disassembly, in fact, can be a sequence of various manipulations, it all depends on the model of the accessory. The most common disassembly instruction looks like this:

We are looking for screws on headphones to carry out the intended analysis, you will need to have a cross-like slot at hand.
Remove the bookmarks, gently sipping them.
Insert the slope into the slot, which is located at the bottom of the cap itself. We disassemble it in parts (you need to take into account that such a parse is often damaged to the accessory, so if you begin to this step - read carefully instructions on the device headphones).
After the work done, proceed to the search for the wire, which is not completely firmly, dangling. If you discovered such wiring, they must be soldered to the contacts so that their connection becomes strong. Each wire must be soldered to its place.

Now you can proceed to replace the speaker, which must be purchased in advance:

We find the central cone and neatly spicy item cut around it the rubber sealing
Neatly withdraw old speaker
In the excavation put a new part, not nearing the subtle membrane.
If the speaker turned out to be less than the previous and loosely sits in the excavation. It is better to glue it with a small amount of liquid glue.

The repair of the headphone details is not so hard to produce independently, just in this case, you must be extremely careful and follow the step-by-step instructions.

Useful advice

What you should listen to:

All the necessary tools must be at hand.

If there are old headphones, you must first take off on them and only after that move to the repair of new ones.
It is not worth pressing a soldering iron to the contact too long, it can lead to the melting of plastic and the destruction of direct contacts.
With a soldering iron you need to be extremely careful not to burn.

Carrying out the repair of the headphones independently, you save money are gaining experience in the repair of electronics.
