Hi. Thanks for this guide. Any idea where to obtain the correct replacement cable, and which wires correspond to which positions on the jack plug? Thanks.

I bought replacement cable on ebay. Look for 4 core cables (shielded if possible to reduce interference). Just use the continuity setting on your DMM to make sure you connect the new wire back the correct order.

On the ones I fixed the colouring was as below

RIN+ red

LIN+ green

SPKR_IN orange (ground)

MIC_IN+ white

MIC_IN- red+green striped (ground)

If you get a cable with a jack plug already mounted the correct connection from the tip of the jack plug to the cable side is as follows

LIN+

RIN+

SPKR_IN

MIC_IN+

Hope it helps!
