| 20:00.46 | eintopf | DocScrutinizer05: I guess everything is glued together there. I will just replace the cable with a worthless device which also use a 3.5mm "audio?" plug |
| 20:02.41 | DocScrutinizer05 | when your question is whether you could repair 3.5mm sealed jack, then no. You could replace it with a new plug or you do what you suggested and swap the complete cable |
| 20:03.33 | DocScrutinizer05 | I'd choose first approach though, for any high quality headphone/set |
| 22:24.00 | eintopf | DocScrutinizer05: what about 7/8 of a cable? |
| 22:24.08 | eintopf | no 1/8 |
| 22:24.13 | eintopf | with the plug |
| 22:26.31 | eintopf | it's not really hight quality, both of them |
| 22:34.13 | DocScrutinizer05 | splicing sucks |
| 22:35.11 | DocScrutinizer05 | and will break in no time most likely, from tearing |
| 22:37.15 | DocScrutinizer05 | headset cables usually have very thin caopper braid and their strength is either from isolation or from a steel wire used for mechanical reasons that is not serving an electrical purpose. For both (steel wire and isolation) splicing/joining them is very difficult |
| 22:54.56 | eintopf | mhh |
| 22:59.43 | eintopf | I can try "splicing" if it's not working I can still replace it with a new plug |
