Broken Headphone Jack Solution June 12, 2014
Posted by laptoppartsexpert in Audio, USB.1 comment so far
In a previous post I discussed the difficulty in trying to fix a broken headphone jack. Today, I want to present the solution.
Most people don’t think about it but these days, headphones and speakers aren’t just made with a standard mini headphone pin. You can now get headphones and speakers with USB plugs. So, if you have a bad headphone jack and you have a free USB port or can add one with a USB hub, you now have a solution for getting your sound back.

For those that do not treat their laptop with kid gloves, you may have broken your audio jacks, like for headphones or perhaps even your USB jacks. People call all the time looking for these jacks but unfortunately, audio and USB jacks aren’t as standardized as DC Jacks are to fix power issues. They can be mounted flat, upside down, mid-board, upright or laterally. The only way to fix this in most cases is to replace the motherboard which usually is not feasible. The one exception is when a model has a separate sub board with USB or audio jacks that can be replaced.
Examples of Sony Audio/USB boards
It is much easier and far more affordable to change out a small board like this than to replace the motherboard.
