I have a Turtle Beach Recon x50, and some of the instructions above were contradictory, misleading or vague, leading to me having to redo soldering, which wasn't fun, and is why I'm posting for clarity. Disclaimer: Don't burn yourself! I cut an existing 3.5mm jack from another headset. Just had to connect wires this way. Preparation: Step 1: Burn the enamel so you expose about 1cm of copper. Sanding the tips can help but it's delicate. Step 2: Carefully separate the white fluff, and then cut or burn it off. Step 3: Tin the wires. (It's 1000 times easier to solder if you already have some solder adhered to the wire. Use flux to make the solder flow/wick better onto the wire. ) Wire Pinout: Green Wire: Left channel (Tip) Red Wire: Right channel (2nd ring) Red/green twisted pair: Both tied together to GROUND (3rd ring) White wire: mic channel (4th ring) Tested and it works. Hope this helps!

So, I have the same problem with my 3ds. and I after much research, I think I finally found the part... http://www.newark.com/molex/501461-0401/ffc-fpc-connector-receptacle-4pos/dp/87P1117 this is for the whole part that the touchpad ribbon cable goes into, and while I certainly don't need the whole part, it's $1.08 on this site, and I can just pull the retaining flap off. I know there's no picture, but I found it through molex.com . See this site here for an image. http://www.molex.com/molex/products/data... Note: I am going to order this, and see if it really IS the right part. I will be back to let you know! :) Update: Just stopping by to verify. I received the 6 that I ordered from newark, and they indeed ARE the correct part. They are VERY tough to get back in. I found it helps to raise the upper contacts using a small flathead screwdriver, so you can get the piece on easier. I broke 1 out of the 4 upper contacts while trying to put it back on... although, I still got the part on the remaining 3, and...
