Need Help Rewiring Headphone Jack

[tbarkwell2]

Hey there,

I have a pair of iSound headphones that the jack got broken on. I am trying to replace the jack now, but surprise surprise, the colors of wires don't match anything I have read online. I was hoping someone might be able to give me some insight.

This is the stripped wire. From left to right: A copper wire with purple, a green wire, a bare wire, a blue wire, and a copper wire with white. As seen in the pic, the green, bare, and blue are inside another white sheath within the cord.

The headphones support a mic and volume control. The replacement jacks I am using are only three contact. Is it possible to fix them this way? How do I determine which is left, right, ground, and what do I do with the other wires?

I have plugged the jack in with some music on and been touching wires to the contacts, but have had no luck getting any sound from anything.

Any suggestions?

you could check this http://pinoutguide.com/Home/Tele35s_pinout.shtml but if you have a voltmeter it wil be easier .

blue and green is left and right channel, no color wire is ground
rest would be for controling volume , guess u cant connect those 2 if your jack has 3 wires
