Help in fixing/modding my headset

[duke911]

Hi every one

One of the wire of my headset was damaged by car door...
and I'm trying to fix it, but it seems harder than I thought

I have a spare sony 3.5 mm headset from an old mp3 player, so I cut it, and tried to connect it with the wires in the HTC headset, but there are too many..

I have taken a photo of my HTC headset wires, the other is from my Sony headset

Can you please help me out here... which wires should I connect together??

I really appreciate your help

Cheers

I am pretty certain all the copper ones are ground/negative. Now just try the colored ones out. Best way to know is trial and error. Or save yourself the headache and buy a new one.

These wires are a little more complicated then just twisting them together. the copper wires are the ground, the colored wires carry the sound back and forth. The color on the wiring is an acrylic coating, so you can run the copper and colored wires together without insulating them. Here is a really killer guide on how to fix the wiring; it worked for me:

thanks guys for the tips
I tired what j101399j (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1126377) suggested, but I'm not sure to solder the wires or not! I'm not really great with it :(
I tried touching each wires with their counter parts to see if there is any sound, but that did not work. maybe I must solder and see...:confused:
