Soldering Fatal1ty Creative Headphones: Replacing Cabling, 3.5mm Jack & Screen Cable Connection

Hello. Today I was going to repair my Fatal1ty creative headphones (replace all cabling) so I went to the store, I bought a 3.5mm jack and cable. The alleged seller told me a cable with a "screen" and here is the problem because I do not know how to solder it to the jack and loudspeaker in the headphones. I was looking in googles and nothing, there is no meaningful explanation. I would like to ask you for help and an explanation of how to combine it.
greetings

P- red
L - White
GND - ground

Insert a photo of the inside of the headphones, I will tell you what and where to connect.

A network full of blueprints. For the lazy:

So yes, there is a microphone board here, I do not care only about the headphones themselves.
Of course, as you wrote @ Maciek051996, mass is this screen in my case?

If you don't care about the microphone then:

-Solder the 2 blue wires together
- solder them to the screen of the cable you bought
-one yellow solder to a white vein
- solder the second white to the red wire

In the plug

I don't understand a bit from what you wrote how could you step by step and exactly

Hi, I would like to join the topic because it has not been solved and I have a problem with the correct soldering of the cable to the headphones.
Years later, I found an old, defective Sennheiser HD207 in a drawer and I would like to bring it back to life. The cable at the jack plug and one channel at the handset are damaged.

I just had some Cordial CMK209 cable
- signal - white braid
- signal - red braid
- mass - copper
Due to the fact that the Senheiser 207 splits the cable to two headphones in this way -

I will be grateful for your help

And where do you connect these bands because in the picture it looks like one cable from the jack (the 3-wire one went out) - I understand that two go there?

both headphones play when the panorama is set in the middle

To be precise - by "panorama" you mean channel balance?

Yes, there are only two that have been treated by me with heat shrink tubing. More precisely, with a thinner tube, which you can see as it enters the jack casing, and a piece of thicker one in the place where the cable is jammed, so that it sticks to the plug better




This is what it looks like when describing it vividly. The blue braids are actually white, but that doesn't matter at the moment. I marked the tube in green
The signal cables, i.e. the white + red braid, are also welded with a tube in both cables

This is exactly what it is about

From the description of the symptoms, you get the impression that you were using the volume knob, not the balance knob It's so off the beaten track.

I would suggest two things:
1 - checking the headphones on other equipment that has the ability to adjust the balance

2 - Hope you have access to a meter (digital multimeter). I am writing about it because by measuring the resistance seen from the plug, you can determine whether the connections are correct or locate any irregularities.

Assuming you have access to such a meter, take the resistance (or resistance) measurements as follows:

a - you need to know the resistance of the handset - if it is not known, unsolder one of the cables by the handset and measure the resistance in the place where you are soldering the wires. After the measurement, solder the wire back on.

b - take measurements on the minijack plug. Note here - take measurements on the plug itself, not on the side where you soldered. For measurements, the plug should be folded, i.e. as in everyday use.

1 - plug tip and ground - correct reading -> value that you measured on the handset
2 - middle section of the plug and ground - as above
3 - tip and middle section - correct reading -> doubled value of the handset resistance.

If you enter the results, we'll see what's next.
