On this headset, both drivers worked while being
tested, but not when the audio was connected to
the audio jack. The jack needed to be replaced.
Desolder the audio jack cable by using a soldering
wick. Apply flux to the wick prior to unsoldering.
Remove the old audio jack cable.

Step 10 Edit
Reassemble the headphones after double checking the solder job. This one also received
new ear pads (readily available at online auction sites) and works perfectly. Here is the rubber boot that holds the audio jack
cable in place.
Insert the replacement cable as shown through
the boot. Solder the new cable to the PCB.
