Headphone jacks are frequently subjected to wear through their normal usage. Instead of purchasing a new pair of headphones, which can sometimes have a hefty cost, replacing the connector is often a cheaper choice.
The use of a soldering iron is required in order to complete this repair. Since the wires used in headphones are often very small, this repair is only recommended for individuals with decent amount of experience in soldering.
Extra precautions should be taken while using the soldering iron, they are extremely hot and you will be working in very small spaces. The use of an Electrician's Helping Hand tool is highly recommended.

Cut the headphone cable near the old headphone jack. Leave some cable attached to the jack.
-
-
-
Turn on the multimeter and set it to measure resistance.
-
Select a wire and touch one of the multimeter leads to the soldered tip.
-
Touch the other multimeter lead to each of the segments on the headphone jack until the multimeter indicates that the wire is connected.
-
Repeat the process for each wire.
Alternative repair suggestion — use a 4 pole headset cable, cut off the jack and solder the wires to the headphone’s cable, using solder and heatshrink tubing. This results in a stronger connection and it’s a lot easier to solder the wires to each other than to the tiny contacts on the plug.

This is a plug replacement, not a jack replacement.
This is a jack replacement.
can you please tell me which color wire and where to solder !
Wire colors are not standardized. They even differ among models of the same manufacturer. The only way is to test against the plug that is being replaced. Hopefully most wires still connect to the plug contacts, so a process of elimination can be used. Typical colors are red, blue, green and no color. Ground is usually no color, and sometimes there are 2 grounds (e.g. for ‘zipper’ style wires). The contacts for most phones are as follows (from tip to outside barrel): Right, Left, Ground, Mic. My Samsung S3 cord was very strange: red, green, no color and 2 black wires. One black was Ground, the other was MIC. Soldering requires a magnifier and a fine tipped iron.
No pinout, seriously?
This is rated difficult, I'm trying to find a replacement plug that uses screws vs. soldering. There's a YouTube video on it, but screw plugs are almost impossible to find. I also don't have a multimeter. Another option is to have a repair shop do it - $20 was quoted (fixed or your money back.) …but that is not in the spirit of iFixit.
Im using the original jack after i cut off plastic insulation can u tell me which wires go to which solder points on the jack.
This is a plug replacement, not a jack replacement. The “jack” is the “female” connector in your device. The “male” connector is a “plug”. Seriously get your basic terminology straight, even the part list calls for a “plug”. I have been looking for a jack replacement how to, but every result I get is for plug replacements calling the plugs jacks. Jack & plug are not interchangeable terms.
This guide does not even explain which cable to solder where? There are four wires. Where does it go? How can this even be a guide if it is not even clear? Should this not be removed until it is properly curated?
davvero molto utile e molto apprezzato il lavoro del traduttore Simone
Grazie Mattia, qualora volessi contribuire sentiti pure libero di apportare miglioramenti al testo
