    Question Audio only comes out on the right side of headphones! Anyone in Melbourne that can solder?

    Hi everyone,

    Basically, I own a pair of

    It's been working fine for a year, but recently when I plugged it into
    my iPhone, only audio from the right ear came out. While the iPhone
    was in my pocket and was moving about (I'm assuming the cable) in my
    pocket, sometimes audio from the left side would be heard as well.

    Just above the metal connector plug (into the iPhone), I tried bending
    it and squeezing it and I could maintain sound for a while - but now I
    can ONLY get sound from the right hand side.

    Apparently, the wires at the end of the silver plug side where I
    connect to an external device....the wires are broken and apparently I
    need to:

    • Buy a new jack/plug
    • Solder the wires back together


    So my questions are:
    • Does anyone know where I can find these sort of 3.5mm plugs? And
      since I'd like the highest grade, I'm looking for gold ones if
      possible...
    • Also, does anyone know who has service for soldering and fixing
      cables in MELBOURNE? If so, could you please give me a quote?
    • If not, would you by any chance know where I could get this
      done?


    Thanks,
    Duncan

    You will get a plug from Jaycar.
    Where are you located?
    What happens if I press alt + F4?
