My left headphone has disconnected from the tiny wires inside the earpiece. It's two wires. I don't have a soldering gun. Can I just glue them with super glue or something?

>> No.829503

As long as the metal is making good contact, yes.

I still don't have the solderer material. Or that copper wire. Or a lighter. Or that magnet.

No you can't, OP.

I have super glue.

If you don't have a soldering iron you're royally fucked. But I guess it depends on how expensive your headphones are and if they're worth fixing.

They are of some no oname chineese brand. Problem is they are really good soundwise and mic-wise. It's just these stupid wores that got disconnected due to crappy and degrading plastic. Can't I use a scotch tape or super glue to glue the two little wires?

>> No.829576

You can try gluing not the joint but a ways away, and bend the wire so that it's got a bit of spring force keeping it on the pad.

Why can't I just glue it?

>> No.829602

>>829581
Glue isn't conductive.

But as long as the wires are touching the solderer parts it should conduct!

Mix graphite powder and whit clear nail polish.
Use it as a solder, to connect the wires again from where they disconnect. But be quick for this mix drys fast. When you manage to embed the wires and the original metal solder with the new mix in the right position try to hold it for 10 minutes and after that use some tape in the part of the wire that has the rubber coating so it wont move and brake your soldering.

I fixed my head phones like this, I had to wait an hour till till it would work.
It's also a great way to fix "broken" remote controls.

holy shit

dont do this

(there is a reason people dont do this and there is a reason solering exists and i assume you are of enough intelligence to tell you what that means)

I've done this in more than one occasion without any problem. What could happen, something could explode? I really didn't knew there could be any problem with doing that.

I doubt it would explode at such a low current/voltage, but it's not the right way to do it.

I'll give you the best advice you've gotten in years...: get a soldering iron. or gun. or whatever. You'll think, "I don't' know how I lived without this." Some are really not expensive. I have a self igniting butane one with temp controls (good for in the car, under hood, etc) and a gun with a light. i enjoy when things i can solder break, so i can play with them.

It's viable enough for a shitty diy fix at least.

>>829604
So fucking glue it, it can work. No one here is going to tell you that it's a good idea but it seems like you've already made up your mind.
