Re: Finding a break in a wire

I have a number of relatively expensive headphones that have stopped
working. There are apparently breaks in the wires caused by fatigue.
Since the connections at the ends are molded, it's hard to simply
replace the wire. Ideally, I'd like to find the break, open the
insulation at that point and patch the break. Unfortunately, I can't
think of any way short of a time domain reflectometer to pinpoint the
break.

Forget it.

When it's got to that state it just breaks again somewhere else inside a
month.
