So a friend of mine came to me with his M50 headphones. He dropped his iPad with them in and it bent the 3.5mm jack. They didn't work at all and the cause was obvious, so I just had him get me a 3.5mm plug from RadioShack and I'd figure I could just cut the wire and solder the new plug on. Well, before attempting to solder anything I decided to try to get sound out of them to see what wire went where. No dice. So now I have non working ATH-M50s and a plug I can't connect them to. All I see is some copper wire and weird insulation, is there some small wire I'm missing or something? My wire strippers don't go small enough for the 3 wires so a lot is lost, and I've only soldered 2 times in my life and know 0 about electronics (from a hardware standpoint.) This is what happens when I solder things. http://99.30.162.147/Downloads/files/pics/fan3.jpg Also, this is the cut wire by the new 3.5mm jack http://99.30.162.147/Downloads/files/pics/m50.jpg
