Default Headphone Jack Repair

Hey there,

this is kind of an ameteurish question, and jack may disapprove, but i do
need the help nontheless...thanks so much for understanding:

i am trying to repair a pair of stereo headphones by replacing the plug
(male)

the headphone wire contains 4 seperate wires : 2 copper wires (one from each
ear) and a seperate red or blue wire (each colour from a seperate ear)

i connected the copper wires together to the common sleeve while the red
wire went to the right (ring) channel and the blue wire went to the left
(tip) channel

it still, however, does not work.....anyone got ANY suggestions??


thanks so much...also do i need to use a specific type of solder?
