Anybody ever have any luck trying to get one of these ...
.. fixed by shortening or removing the cable altogether (in other words, the headphone 3.5mm jack is basically connected directly to the base of the GBA connector)?
i've already gone through 3 headphone adapters, and i'm thinking of toying around with at least one of them to see if i can revive them. that said, i'd be gladly willing to entrust the repair of these to someone who knows what they're doing.
