Creative A220 Speakers Mini-Din 9-Pin Plug Replacement: Diagram and Soldering Guide

The discussion addresses the replacement and soldering of a broken Mini-DIN 9-pin plug on Creative A220 speakers. The original wiring diagram was lost due to water damage, complicating repair efforts. Suggestions include carefully cutting the old plug to expose wire ends and using a multimeter to identify wire-to-pin connections. Unscrewing the satellite speaker with the control unit allows access to internal wiring for verification. A pinout was provided: pin 7 (red), pin 8 (gray), pin 9 (white), pin 3 (blue), pins 5 and 1 (brown), pin 2 (copper), with the housing as ground (copper). Additional photos of the speaker board with potentiometer and wiring diagrams were shared to assist soldering. Some users discussed related issues with Creative 2.1 speaker remotes and cable replacements, emphasizing direct soldering to the board or using heat shrink tubing after cutting cables. The conversation also touched on troubleshooting sound issues such as excessive volume and humming, and the possibility of bypassing the remote control. Links to related forum threads and images of pinouts for similar models (T3100, SBS380, A320) were provided for reference.
