So my dog lastnight got a hold of my Xbox 360 headphones, the Turtle Bay one’s and chewed the wire in half. I stripped the wire down a bit to see if I could make the repair but I was unable to. It consists of 5 very small wires that solder to a board which I was not about to attempt. Is there anyone on here that has experience with un-soldering and re-soldering connections back onto a small board? I know if this can be done, the head phones will be in good working order again. Obviously I’m not looking for someone to do it for free, but if I can get it done rather inexpensively, I will compensate you for your time. Please let me know if anyone can help me out. Thanks! ---

Yeah PCB board soldering is a steady hands art form. You need a solder sucker, anti solder paste and a low watt iron. I did it a few times but I suck at it and my hand shakes a little now that i am older. 91240, have fun. 🙂 ---

The smallest I have soldered is probably a SMD (surface mount device) resistor which was a 603 size (1.6 mm × 0.8 mm) or 402 (1.0 mm × 0.5 mm) I can’t remember. :lol ---

I did this on an S2000 cluster. If nobody else is up for it, I’ll do it.
