Hello everybody,
I'm repairing headphones for a friend; the right channel keeps dieing because of broken connection within the plug. So I cut open cable, stripped it back and found some strange wire. The wire is wrapped around what appears to be very fine strands of cloth. And to make matters worse, the wire, which is stranded, has, I think, an enamel coating. When I tried to tin the end of a wire, solder would not flow onto it. Has anybody worked with this stuff?
