resolder them on. the problem is gen 1s are about 7 years old from first release, over time the wires / plastic covering tends to become brittle. and a lot depends on HOW you pull them apart. if you pull em apart too hard you can put excess strain on the wires.

Thats kinda of a common problem. Since the Gen. 1's were built 6 years ago, the solder starts to weaken (Pretty much on everything) & then eventually fall off. It is fixable all you need is a solder gun/iron and some solder. Which can all be gotton at radio shack.

EDIT: Zippo855 /\ pretty much said it all.
