YAY! someone answered your ask for help

here is a perfectly good audio jack

oops! i wrecked it for no raisins at all

you can directly solder into 50cents jack that you bought or....

yes, buy shrink tube...its dirt cheap and got many colors. buy 5.0 diameter
here is the estimated length

don't leave the hot solder iron on the plug too long, just a 1-2 secs will do.... do it real quick

oops! i wrecked it for no raisins at all again
use hot glue sticks if you don't have shrink tube....just use that damn big lighter to heat it up

i'm high from the fumes =) its ugly but it works

glhfkthxbai! vrrrrrrrrrrrrrmmmmm vrrmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

nice lighter lol

what is wrong about learning how to solder and do it properly....

at least you got options to reuse old plug with hot glue or shrink wrap if you don't like the 50sen plug without calling PcWork or j***n just to tell them 'ok i'll think about it' when you ask the price =)

Audiophile must learn how to solder loh.. else miss out so many fun.
Eh.. if got table use a table loh, soldering on floor like doing yoga.

Or try this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYEtMC05wC0...next=1&index=28 , wouldn't recommend her to waste it on ibuds tho..

chill gais.. modding != repairs (their definitions stray far apart even in the dictionary)
repair = making something spoil to sound the same again
modding = making something that works to perform even better

what bro beggarmaster here is showing repairing as he still is using the same jack and the same cable..
as for bro PCwork, he is using different cables and different jacks which the combination is acquired from his personal research.. thus custom re-cabling has its name
thats why bro PCwork wont simply do repairs if it aint worth it ... he has to make sure that not only it will work again, but also sound alot better than before for his customers

Both sides, chill la..

1st of all, thank you BeggermAster, though I would have preferred to solder over using hot glue for cosmetic reasons...

As for Bro PcWork, his work is premium, no doubt, as he put in a lot of money & effort into reasearching the best combinations for certain cables (e.g. symphonica or KC75 recabling).

he didnt use hot glue to mount the cable to the jack.. instead it is used to create the protective layer for the jack cuz in his guide.. he stripped the casing of the stock jack apart and reused the jack's tip.

regardless.. this is a good guide especially to those forumer who are so lazy to even google a guide to fix/solder a jack.. it almost returns 350K results

come on ive been doing this since standard 6!!

heh, thank you too
yes, i soldered the connections before attaching options of
1. 50cents worth of 3.5 audio jack
2. tube heat shrik
3. hot glue stick
you can choose which you prefer if you decide a quick durable fix

tho i would highly suggest using those .. still consider cheap RM4 yaosheng TNK jacks (they come from the same neutrik factory) sounds the same too if you wanna ask ...
with nickle housing they're able to handle alot more torture especially being trampled on

please tell us where to buy rm4 yaoshengs? =)

if you want to buy soo cun expensive plug to plug it into crap female hahaha you must have got an idiot doing research poison

regular ipod,iphone, mp3, flac player all plastic china females
unless its gold plated FEMALE. then you ask for the premium!

hippo gumstick got gold connectors on the female

@melaka an electronic shop by sentral bus station.. price tag was 6 .. but i bought 4 and ask for discount, they offer RM4 each
consider pretty good stuff cuz @ melaka even those plastic so called "japan" jacks costs RM3 .. might as well get these =)

wow thanks for tip
i'll pick some up when i go there

I appreciate bmaster photos a lot . At least he initiative and effort to show us
how to do this. I have thought of shooting lthese but malas.
Keep cool men.. this thread a bit hot.

I must thank you bmaster for showing a step by step guide. Last week I was trying to repair my audio jack but I gave up because I don't know the proper procedure of repairing one. Thanks for the guide. Will try fixing my audio jack.

Crude, but I like the way he did it. Very resourceful!
Keep it up beggarmaster!

lol now everyone is trying to bring you back again XD

you get the parts for the cable and i will solder for a glass of teh tarik panas (applicable to ppl around MMU melaka only)
