Jack-side contents
  • After drilling was performed, I noticed that the headphone would no longer turn on. Upon further inspection, one of the drill holes had penetrated leads in the circuit board.

  • Due to its physical damage, I was unable to perform a good diagnosis on the cause of the headphone issue. While not being an electronics engineer, my best guesses are either a processing chip or a capacitor malfunction (due to initially working but fading out, and functioning for longer periods if they haven't recently had a hard reset)

  • The physical damage prevented me from being as motivated to check for signs of component failure, especially knowing that this pair of headphones was likely irreparable at this point.

  • The second picture shows the reverse side of this circuit board
