broken female jack, how to fix
The female jack on my headphones are mostly broken. Most of the time there is no sound but if i move the cord to the right place there is quiet sound in either ear, or rarely normal sound in both ears. (if i hold it there) Is there any way I can fix the jack in these headphones so that it works properly? It is NOT the cord/male jack with the problem, I tried 3 different cords and they all have the same problem in these headphones and not elsewhere
ANSWERS:
"Hi,
It seems like the headphones 3.5mm audio socket is either loose from the circuit board or faulty.
Here’s an image taken from a teardown video for the headphones that shows the socket.

If it is just loose then all that may be required is that it be resoldered to the board.
If it is faulty it will have to be replaced. The hard part about doing this may be to find a compatible socket. Maybe search for TRRS 3.5mm jack breakout (supplier example only).
I’m not sure if the example is the correct size or whether the connection pins are in the correct place so that it will mount on the circuit board in the correct place or not. It should be compatible as it has 4 poles allowing for the speakers (L + R), the microphone and a return earth connection through the cable.
Hopefully this is of some help."
