This is the Logitech x-530 speakers system. It has 4 pieces of satellite speakers, a center speaker, and a sub-woofer, the surround sound effect - divine! Hey wait a minute! Damn, I’m not trying to introduce you to my newly acquired speakers. My puppy dog had just bitten off the speakers wirings!

Crippled Wires. Courtesy of my puppy.
Never, Ever! put your puppies where your speaker wires are. They’ll probably take them as their chewy, munchy toys.

Anyways, I’m gonna try to cut off the broken part, then manually join/twist the wires back together and then apply insulation to them again. Any loss of audio quality is yet to be known. Will try that out tomorrow. Any suggestions from electricians out there who knows how to fix these sort of problems? Let me know you guys.

    That wire… Looks like USB? If not USB then go to manually join one by one lah.. .Else, I strongly suggest you to get new one, cause USB wires isn’t same as normal wires, they jump around, eventhough you stick cover the joisnt or whatsoever…

    Wong: The wire in the image on the left is sort of like a monitor cable, that one’s tough and it’s the most important wires of all. Very complicated inside. But, the right one is easy stuff. Haven’t got time to ‘operate’ them though.

    I have those speakers…I saw in many reviews that the wire can’t be replaced,but i think that that tripple wire is quite normal so you can just hook them together…

    Crazy Chaz: I’ve cut off the crippled part and reconnect it by twist-joining them. There’s 2 small wires and a strand of exposed wires around them in each of the wires. It’s kinda complex the anatomy. But then, there’s still no sound after I fix them.

    [...] Besides microchipping, female dogs here are even de-sexed (surgical removal of the ovaries and uterus) to prevent them from getting unwanted off-springs, thus, reducing the unwanted, homeless, stray dogs population. I’m not sure whether I’m gonna do it on Milo, I thought it’s a bit harsh for her, but I’m not asking for more puppies though, coz my speakers are dead by now thanks to Milo. [...]
