In-Ear Headphone Control and Mic Block Disassembly

Einleitung

There are often times when a set of in-ear headphone swill suddenly lose sound in one of the earphones. Most times this issue is found at the 3.5mm jack.

However, this quide will assist when the issue is rather located at the control and mic box found on common in-headphones that come with Cellphones.

It will simply show one how to open the case, resolder the wire that has come loose (which is most likely the problem).

Once the wire is found a steady hand and a fine tipped soldering iron should be used to reattach the wire.
Ensure that you do not head to circuit board for too long as it may cause damage (be as quick as possible!)
After this, the circuit board and wires should be replaced as they were before. Press the plastic cover halves together and it should click back into place.
And they are fixed!
