Would it be possible to first use tweezers to get inside the wire, before cutting it, and then split open the sheath in order to get the wires to fan out? What I mean is that you could slowly remove a section of the outer layer exposing the still connected wires inside. Then you can cut the wires diagonally and use size to help with matching the wires back together. Like you did in the other video you have for this procedure. Also, THANK YOU!!!! All these clips are amazingly useful!

[@darkwarrior478]

You can do this several different ways but so far this one is the best I have found, it hides the repair and keeps it safe, once you get used to the wire colors it is not too bad but be aware that sony did change the colors somewhere along the way on a revision i suspect, you can also just continuity test each wire to make sure you dont mess it up.

Mine silder is loose is it possible to fix that ?

[@darkwarrior478]

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

[@Ayush-recker]

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

[@darkwarrior478]

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

Hello, I have the same headphones. My sis accidentally spilled chocolate milk on it and it got into the charging port. I did not charge it while it was wet and let it dried. It was still working great however when it turned low battery, it won’t charge anymore. The yellow light is not showing. I press the power button long enough to reset it, but it just won’t light up anymore too since then. Please I’m begging you, I just got this headphone not too long ago and idk what to do. I tried contacting Sony but idk where to get the 8 digit number in the headphone. There’s numbers on the left side of the headphone but it not any of them. Please help kindly sir.

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.

[@darkwarrior478]

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

Isn't it easier just to take each cable out of it's pin and then rewire it into connector back on.

[@darkwarrior478]

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