I found those replacement headphone jacks to be a pain. I was getting the wires twisted inside and even if I was lucky to get it soldered. What I did was get one of those 3.5mm to 3.5mm extenders and cut it in half. Then solder the two cables together. Less frustration messing with the actual jack.

Well... It's a really nice video with great tips, IF you have a soldering iron and the skill to use it. The multimeter is a nice-to-have instrument, too. Luckily, I happen to have both the soldering iron and the skill to use it. But I know it's not the case for many. So, guys, I suggest you to learn how to use a soldering iron, not only for this video but for other purposes in electronic as well. If you can afford a multimeter (even a cheap one), it's a good thing to have, too.

Do you know how to fix low sound from rear speakers in surround sound that would be connected via headphone jack 3.5 mm to an older tv? Sound is coming out of some 5.1 logittech PC speakers but they work fine. They work okay except the rear speakers are very low sound. There is no receiver involved so I'm not sure how to increase the gain on the rear speakers.

Now there's a weird phase cancellation effect in them. Will get the jack replaced soon. Make sure to shell out just a little bit more money on the parts you use! lol

@@LeftyMaker Hey, man. I'm not dealing with a broken pin or wires from the plug that connects to my security camera system but the plastic of the plug itself that secures the connection of the metal is bent on one side, making the fit onto the motherboard's port too narrow. How do I fix this? If I bend the plastic to not be narrow it could damage the metal inside making the proper connection. Also if I attempt to shove it on there that could mess up the port from the motherboard. I hope you can help me solve this, and thanks for reading

@janchokiss Жыл бұрын

Mostly off topic but still gonna ask this question: I have got a 3.5 mm jack to 6.3 mm jack reduction which is a bith loose and when I use it with my headphones the sound is either silent completely or the balance is not the best, I know I could fix that by using ducttapeing it around to make it more attached to each other and believe me I have tried that 2 times already! What would be the best way to connect them properly so that I can have the best sound-check?

@petrlaskevic1948 Жыл бұрын

That is likely a bad electrical collection. The best thing would be to do this: You need to determine which one of the headphone jacks is the bad one. To do it, you need to cut the cable in half (doesn't matter where exactly), you need to get access to the wires to check the connections. Then, once you have two pieces of cable (I promise it is simple), you just check the conductivity of the channels with the multimeter. Right channel, you check all three wires to find it on the other side, found it, multimeter beeps. Same with left channel and ground. If one side works completely, check the other one. If that is bad, get a replacement jack and replace the headphone jack on that side.

@davidwright1011 5 ай бұрын

I think my problem is even more basic than this: after a few months, every plug-in jack (Apple, old headphone or speaker jacks...) get sketchy, so I have to hold it in one position, or I get no sound. I try scraping the connection with a paper clip in case it's dirty, but that doesn't do much good. It happens with chargers also, in the sense that they get very slow, then stop charging after a few months. It's got to be something I'm doing wrong, but I can't figure out what or how to fix it. Any reasonable suggestions welcome.

Everybody is talking about jack repair but my problem is not jack, it's headphone slot. When I plug a jack into a slot I won't have the sound until I stretch the jack into particular direction. Holding it like that and the sound is on but when I release it the sound goes off. It looks like physical damage within the slot. I have no idea what to do. Any help?
