First, make sure the connector sheath is STILL ON THE CORD. If it's not, slip it over the end of the cord before proceeding. I have made this mistake probably 200 times in my life :(

Carefully solder each wire to its respective solder pad.

This was the first time I've ever soldered electronics, and it was a bit scary. The solder points for the wires are extremely close to nearby circuit board components and metal paths! Also, make sure you don't leave tin sticking out to the sides, as that will prevent you from slipping the sheath back on.
