Yes, it is absolutely possible but if you break one of the very tiny locks that hold the individual wire connector in place then you have to come up with a different plan, the way I solder them there is no issues, it is done and I can not break anything in the process unless I am very harsh taking them apart or reassembling them. Keep in mind that in order to see what you are doing you will need a microscope of some kind or magnifying glasses, just a thought from me.

No, the connector release tabs break very easily, if in doubt try it.

Yes, it is adhesive tape that actually holds it down, just be careful with the mic. part of it.

Yes, that is always an option, I have done it quite a few different ways to find the best, it does not take long to replace the connector if you have extra but breaking the tiny tabs is a real pain, I have found it saves me time to just cut harness and solder together.

Just realised I meant a male connection not female

@@bladengreen8622 I want to buy a connector. Could you tell me what type it is or where I could find one?

Same please would really appreciate if you could let me know what type of connector it is thanks!

Honestly it is very difficult to break the joint unless you put a bunch of pressure on it, manufacturer really should have came up with a better design than that but there is always weaknesses in anything you buy really.....unless its a wrecking ball.

DO NOT buy these. This problem is EXTREMELY common and Sony DOES NOT honor the warranty of this extremely common and well-known manufacturing/design flaw.

and how da hell you gonna put wire in new replacement

@@luck839 yes my bad not possible

Lets address the chocolate milk thing first, sugar in chocolate milk will coat the charging port and short it, it likely also got into the board area and corroded that as well. Send them to us and we can repair them, information in the more section above.

Either way you need to take it apart and clean the chocolate milk out of them, be very thorough!

Hard plastic, do not use super glue of any kind it just makes a mess, you are better off using a hot iron or even a soldering iron and remelt the plastic, practice on something else first and use a filter box fan or very good ventilation as you dont want to breath the fumes, once you get it figured out you will be able to plastic weld with the best of them, after doing this you can use fingernail file or sand paper to smooth it out, paint also if you like.

Can you brief out more would be good for all

I think what he is trying to say is using a very small needle you can lift the locks on the harness connector but again this is very tedious and if you break them its game over, It is honestly not that difficult to solder the wires, have done literally thousand of the wires now and it is very easy now after doing that many.

I have honestly never ran into one that the bluetooth did not work on, are you using the sony application? I would verify your phone does not have issues like maybe clean all the old stuff you connected via bluetooth in your bluetooth devices, try cleaning that first, the main board carries the bluetooth so you might want to look it over after purging old devices, try it on another phone also.

@@darkwarrior478 i’ve did all of that it still connects but disconnects after about a minute. i have to turn it on and on again to connect for it to turn off after a minute again

@@JoseRamirez-kd7qy Next to impossible to diagnose that type of issue without having them in front of me, something might be getting warm or shorting, try plugging it in to charge and pushing the power and options button at the same time to reset them, hold that down for about fifteen seconds and it will reset to factory settings.

@@darkwarrior478 i tried everything, tbh i can only think of a circuit being damaged

@@JoseRamirez-kd7qy Check for corrosion on the boards, i have had a couple where the speaker on left or right was not working and it was the smaller charging board was corroded, cleaning it or repairing the issue took care of it.

Are you sure??? I bet there are literally tons of service members on the ship that drink coffee and they would argue that point!

That is why I repair it the way I do, removing the pins from the connector is very tedious, not to say it can not be done but in my opinion is just as likely to break a catch on the socket for the wire as anything, I have done this myself, you usually can find a company that sells the parts to get one from, I have a bunch so send me an email and I can send you one.

@@darkwarrior478 Hi DarkWarrior478, Is it possible to get one sent as well?

It sucks, mine was broken, normal usage.

You can not just pull or go slowly with it, reach in with a spudger or similar tool and pry out in a smooth motion but feel what you are doing, i usually insert it by the top left of the pad and i have broken a couple in the hundreds and hundreds I have removed but they will go right back in place, hope this helps.

No, the U.S.

Watch the video, answered there.

There is a small piece of fabric that likely came out of it.

@@darkwarrior478 do you have a picture of that fabric or I can insert some fabric in there ?

@@AyushKumar-rg6jw Watch the videos and you will see it, i show that specific piece and likely comment on it.

If its not broken I would leave it alone, you might return them if you really are bothered by it.

@darkwarrior478 I thought that there are different compartments in each ear that might make them slightly different

Replace the right mic as well, make sure you have the polarity correct, positive to positive and negative to negative or it will negatively affect the sound.

Yes because it is used for noise cancellation.

Yes it is, truly!

We do this for much less than that, you just need the hanger repaired right? I replace the slider shaft part that breaks and really do not charge that much, 67.00 currently, see under more our email addy, send them to us and I have them repaired and back to you in no time.

The design looks to be deliberate so it would eventually crap out. I mean who in their right mind would use such cheap plastic material knowing the amount of stress put on it during regular use. Also, the fact that they made it so hard to repair basically tells you to buy a new one instead 😅

Go on ebay and they have parts on there or send them to us, 67.00 total and that includes shipping.

That one was a name brand and I am a bit rough on tools so it did not last more than a year, bought some that looked just like it but much less expensive, work just as well, will show them in next video.

I might make another video, I have changed the location of the repair to the middle of the slider shaft, it fits nicely and is out of sight, not sure if it is easier or not but it seems better overall!

Have been successfully repairing these like this for over a year now and it is reliable, problem I ran into with pin removal was they dont always stay in the socket after reinstalling and that is not good, also found I broke the tiny locks quite often, this works very well in my experience!

@@darkwarrior478 I got the 1mm shrink tube but its shrink rate is only 2:1. I've measured the existing wires -- and even accounting for a little squish -- are around .37mm each. So I've ordered some .5mm shrink (1.7:1 shrink rate) I dont have much room to stagger the solder joints.

@@tspike7 You wont need to stagger them, as long as you keep away from connector by at least quarter inch you will be fine, they fold over nicely, not sure what my shrink rate is on shrink tube I purchased, bought a bulk lot of it in orange and white.

@@darkwarrior478 can you tell what gauge wire is being used? I may have messed up a bit. If I can extend the wires just a bit, I should be able to make it work (also give a bit more maneuverability) I have some small shielded wire but it’s prob 24 gauge and I don’t want impedance mismatching

@@tspike7 Have not had any issues with the 1mm shrink and in fact am very impressed with the shrink tube I purchased, it is very high quality heat shrink, you wont change the impedance enough to notice without measuring it, you get the wires mismatched and that is obvious though, much noise in one speaker.

Likely the speaker has failed, have had to replace quite a few of those, you can replace them but you will need to both solder and hot glue the speaker in place, email us if you need further assistance.

@darkwarrior478 I see, thanks for the quick reply!

Nice job, if you take your time and be careful you can do this and save yourself the money, if you run into an issue let us know and we can help, have a great day!!!

Did the sound quality took any hit

@@vaibhavgexc No, as long as you seal the solder joints and make them clean there wont be any issues, have done this repair so many times its like walking now.

You are welcome!

Good plan, they will likely be coming out with new ones between spring and summer possibly.

We have the information to contact us in the details above under more, have a great day!

how did you solve the problem? i have an xm5 and i can hear hissing in my right ear(((.

If you break them on the right side then you do that side, if left then do the left side, it is the same either way, we have repaired so many of these it is just common place now, send me an email if you run into trouble.
