    Need glue to fix broken outer casing of Supra-Aural JBL headphones

    I have a pair of JBL tempo on ear supra-aural headphones. The problem is the right speaker broke out of the metallic bands socket. Now I need to glue the broken pieces of the speakers socket holder. Which is the glue that will give me a strong joint.

    I have attached photographs showing the headphone, the broken area and the parts that need to be glued to that broken area.

      I have now attached photographs of what needs to be joined.

      I read that on ear supra-aural headphones outer casings are made of PVC plastic.

        It looks like the plastic at that high-stress joint broke because it is not up to the task in the first place and gluing it back together with anything it will just break again.

          It broke because I happened to press on it with my knee by mistake so my whole body weight from top till knee came on it.

          Will the product in the link below be good for the job ?

            Call JBL Customer Service. Explain you're a long-standing customer and LURVE the company's products. However, one of their products has disappointed you and you would greatly appreciate them making things right by you. The other poster was correct that the material failure occurred in a high-stress area. Even though you believe your knee was responsible, I would bet the joint had already sustained many micro-fractures. It was therefore doomed to fail sooner or later. You may have to blast through the first line of CS reps (they're hired to say "No"), but stick with it; JBL is a reputable brand and its CS folk have always been good to me (after a bit of whingeing).

            If you insist on attempting to repair the set, try this stuff. I use it to repair broken pushbuttons, snapped remote control parts, and just about any other broken plastic parts. Many smart parents keep a bottle handy to repair their kids' favorite broken toys. Good luck.

              Is this stuff the same (or similar) to plastic waste pipe cement? You can buy a fairly large pot cheaper.

                Could be. It's marketed to hobbyists and sold through hobby stores (in addition to the usual internet suspects), so not much intersection with pipe layers. You'd have to pull the MSDS sheets for this goop as well as the PVC glue and compare them to assess similarity. Nobody tells you what's in stuff if they don't have to...

                  RCA WHP141 wireless headphones wired up
                  by momaka
                  OK, this one dates back to 2015! I thought I had posted this, but realized I didn’t when I posted a picture of something else. So here it goes…

                  Back in 2015, I bought a pair of RCA WHP141 wireless headphones at Micro Center for $2. I even mentioned it in the best cheap/free scores thread right here. Just forgot to follow up with that.

                  As mentioned back then, these are (were) 900 MHz FM wireless headphones. No modern day Blutooth or anything like that. I knew they wouldn’t be great headphones or even that good… but the price was right! So let’s take...

                  Is it possible bridging tiny broken trace
                  by chth96
                  When I assembled dreamcast I mistakenly fastened long bolt and It resulted in
                  cutting tiny trace.
                  This tiny trace(Total width of white coating is 5.5mm) is between R337,R343 and IC101 and it is covered with white coating in the below screenshot.


                  Firstly I tried to bridging tiny broken trace with my own eyes...But it is totally impossible..So a week ago, I ordered G1200 Digital Microscope and I magnified this tiny broken trace with it.

                  But It seems that It is really very tiny trace So I plan to order 0.1mm coper wire from aliexpress in order to bridging...

                  Problem

                  This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

                  The Real Dangers of conductive glue.
                  by mitsu2k
                  I know many folks on this forum warn against conductive glue and suggest removing it immediately upon site. I'm here to vouch and say these people know what they are talking about. To be more accurate, the glue isn't intended to be and doesn't actually start out conductive. It gets conductive as it is heated by components that get hot. The glue starts out to be a light tan color but as it is exposed to heat, it gets darker and darker until it is a dark brown. I have found that it becomes conductive at the point that it reaches a light brown color on darker.

                  Here is an experience I...

                  Windows 10 & Wireless Headphones
                  by Logistics
                  So I found my wife a pair of Sony MDR-100ABN's, and we were goofing with them yesterday. She has a new HP Sceptre with Windows 10. I don't know 10 at all so my blood pressure goes up trying to navigate the unruly interface.

                  I played with lots of settings yesterday, when I was trying to make the headphones connect to the laptop over bluetooth including, the MIC settings since we were playing with the Noice-Cancelling setting on the headphones. I ended up putting the MIC setting back to the Intel default on the laptop, but the output for the headphones.

                  Move forward to...
