If you still don't have sound, recheck the inserts. Once all four wires are clicked back into place, you should be good to plug it back into your computer and turn it on. I suggest using a large needle or a very thin nail or something to help with getting them out). They usually have some sort of little tab to keep them in the plastic tip (which you will figure out when you go to pull them out in the first place.

Slide the insert-capped wires back into their correct holes, and make sure that you position them the right way. Twist each wire so that it's solid enough to slide back into the tiny metal inserts, and gently pinch the insert with a pair of needle nose pliers (only hard enough to make it stay on the wire, you don't wanna change their shape too much). Trim the wires so that they are the same length.Įxpose the ends of the wires by cutting JUST the casing off (only about 1/8 of an inch or so). Pull out the other two wires and all four of the tiny metal inserts inside of the white plastic. You need make a note of which wire goes in which hole (I usually label each one with tape). Personally I would try and repair it myself.
