Need some technical assistance
I took apart a hansfree headset for my phone to rewire it and once I cut the microphone wire, I reconnected it and it doesn't work for some reason. How can this be? The is a white wire and a bare wire and both are connected correctly?
I have been going crazy trying to figure this out for 12 hours now.
TIA

Did you burn the coating off of the white wire and the bare one? They put a protective coating(and not the obvious plastic one) on these wires to keep them from grounding each other. Unless you burn it off, and solder it back and then prevent the wiring from touching each other you aren't going to get it to work. A picture would be great, but it sounds to me like you're going to need a few more tools to do the job.

I'll give it a try.

I don't think a pro would have been able to help you. Sounds like you are more then capable of doing this stuff yourself. You should write up a how-to when you're done...
