Step 3
Opening the headset
- Pry around the edges with a prying tool and unhook the hinges with a sturdy metal prying tool.
- Once all the 4 hinges are unclipped open the headset.
- Open with caution! Don’t remove fully as the wires are still soldered to the board.

Step 4
De-solder the old wiring
- Desolder the top 3 connections. RIN+, LIN+, SPKR_IN
- And the MIN_IN, and mic ground.
- I removed the left headset too, so it is easier to work with the headset.

Hi. Thanks for this guide. Any idea where to obtain the correct replacement cable, and which wires correspond to which positions on the jack plug? Thanks.

I bought replacement cable on ebay. Look for 4 core cables (shielded if possible to reduce interference). Just use the continuity setting on your DMM to make sure you connect the new wire back the correct order.
On the ones I fixed the colouring was as below
RIN+ red
LIN+ green
SPKR_IN orange (ground)
MIC_IN+ white
MIC_IN- red+green striped (ground)
If you get a cable with a jack plug already mounted the correct connection from the tip of the jack plug to the cable side is as follows
LIN+
RIN+
SPKR_IN
MIC_IN+
Hope it helps!
