SkullCandy Hesh Size Adjuster Replacement

Introduction

This guide will outline all the steps necessary to reattach a SkullCandy Hesh size adjuster that's snapped. Exposed wires in this area will result in either a cessation in sound production, or sound being produced in only one side of the device. When troubleshooting sound problems, this is the last solution to check, as it requires the most time.

Locate the break in the device.

Step 2

Use a Phillips #0 screwdriver to remove the two 9 mm screws from the bottom inner casing beneath the break.

Edit

Step 3

Remove the bottom inner casing to reveal the wire compartment and the port where the slider inserts.

Edit

Step 4

Cover the detached slider port in a generous layer of Plasti Dip, which works like glue. Also coat any exposed wire to seal the circuit.

Edit

Step 5

Realign the broken size adjuster into the port with the Plasti Dip so that it can be secured to the ear piece.

Edit

Step 6

Clamp the pieces in place by hand or with a binder clip until the Plasti Dip dries. Feel free to use a hair dryer on a low setting to speed up the process.
