G62-b25SA - broken headphone socket, replacement?

I have a  G62-b25SA laptop out of warranty.
The headphone socket has broken - part of the socket is missing, meaning that I cannot connect a standard 3.5mm headphone jack.
To be clear, this is NOT the problem often reported of something snapping off INSIDE the socket, meaning that the laptop things headphones are connected.
This is the opposite issue, part of the socket itself is missing, meaning it does not hold the headphone jack securely.
Is it possible to replace the socket? How do I go about obtaining a replacement part and fitting it?
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi nikhalton,
Take a look in your Maintenance and Service Guide.  If it can be replaced, you will find out how within those pages.
Please let me know if this helps.
Good luck!

  • Headphone socket is not working and apple wants replacement cost

    Hi my iphone 5 is still in gurantee , suddenly its headphone socket stop working. When i plug headphones nothing happens. I visited apple store the guy said that this is due to a dent on my phone and i have to pay $260 replacement charge. But that little dent is 6 months old and socket stopped working few days ago. What should i do ?

    You can call Apple and appeal their decision if you wish to (or go back to the store and ask for a supervisor or manager to assess your device - basically dispute the genius claim and ask to have it bumped up the chain of command).  Ultimately though they are the ones who decide if your damage is a warranty-related defect or something caused by accidenatal damage or abuse.  If they say you are not eligible for a warranty repair, then you pay the fee for an out of warranty repair.

  • Help! I have a broken piece of plastic in my headphone socket on my new ipad2. How can I get it out?

    My husband bought me an ipad 2 for christmas. He also bought me a pointer thingy that plugs into the headphone socket when you are not using it. The flipping thing has broken off and now I can't put headphones in there.  How do I get the piece of plastic out?  He is going to be seriously peed off if he has to find out!
    Any suggestions?

    Remove plastic with a long nose tweezers.

  • Headphone jack broken in socket - problem solved.

    HI
      I've recently removed a broken headphone  jack from an ipod touch and as there appears to be a number of people to whom this has happened i thought i'd share how i did it.
    Firstly the more of the plug you can see the better.
    Secondly  can you see any plastic ? Yes ....then great.
    Next find a thin needle and a pair of pliers
    what i did was heat the needle until it was red hot  over a gas ring    
    then push the end of the  hot needle   into the plastic of the plug  about 1-2 mm
    hold it steady and blow to cool it down. Hopefully the plug will now be attached to the needle.
    Then lifted the plug out          as you can see there was precious little left so the more plastic you can seee the better.    
    I have never heard of this method  being used  so you heard it here first ....

    After trying a load of other methods (I dare not try superglue) - I followed vespuccio's advice to the letter and it worked a treat - just when I was on the point of giving up - Bingo!
    You do have to take care when using the hot needle, but I couldn't believe it when it worked on my second attempt.
    What a brilliant solution!  Thank you so much for posting this you made mine and my daughter's Christmas so much better.

  • Toshiba Thrive Tablet Broken Headphone Jack Fix For Audio Line Out

    BROKEN HEADPHONE JACK SIMPLE FIX FOR TOSHIBA THRIVE TABLET:
    I love my Toshiba Thrive tablet. I take it with me everywhere I go, nearly every day. I also enjoyed connecting the headphone output jack on the side to an external set of speakers. I would enjoy stereo internet, video watching and so on. I recently broke (cracked) the headphone jack on accident. For months, I heard only through the small, factory installed speakers which, is not quite what I'd call 'ideal stereo.' Has anyone else done this? Despite trying to find repair shops locally, no one will touch a tablet it seems for repair or replacement parts. It's not your usual headphone jack. But - I can tell you how to get your sound back!
    THE QUICK FIX
    While browsing the internet, I found a device that by-passes the headphone jack and instead uses the internal workings of the Thrive tablet's main connection port. This port is located at the base of the unit. It will be covered by a protective, plastic tab that is removeable. Simply pry a little. This long narrow port was designed to allow you to set the entire Thrive tablet into a docking station designed for it. In this docking station are various connection pins that allow the audio to be sent out of the tablet and into the docking station. At the rear of the docking station you'll find a host of connection types:  1) audio out jack/headphone 2) USB 3) HDMI 4) 110v power supply. Simply plug your speakers or headphone cable into the new docking station and you're done! Your audio will work again. I purchased my docking station for $6.00 on Ebay.  Oddly, the unit doesn't charge very well if at all while in the docking station but I've read you can simply remove the cover from your Thrive, remove the battery physically for a few minutes, return it to it's rightful place then close the cover and this fixes the problem. It's a strange little glitche. I have yet to try this yet. I did find that if I plug the cord directly into the Thrive right side as designed, it will recharge the battery as usual. I ordered a few of these docking stations which allow me to simply set the pad down depending on where I am and it will continue to charge. The docks do not come with power outlet so you'll need to consider buying additional but it works wonderfully. There are now even wireless docking stations too!

  • Distorted audio from headphone socket after iOS 5 update!

    Hi,
    I have an iPad2, and just yesterday updated my iOS to version 5.1.
    Everything went fine until I checked some audio via my headphone socket this morning. It was grossly overdistorted. I used another pair of headphones and the same thing happened, it either didn't work or cut out, or was grossly distorted. I then checked each headphones and found they worked well on my iPhone.
    So is this a problem with the software or my iPad? Anyone have an idea? I don't want to pay for repair if this is an update issue.
    Thanks
    M

    Thank you for that suggestion, but it didn't work. I still get distorted, broken up audio.
    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks,

  • Static when connecting to hifi via headphone socket.

    When I connect my Macbook Pro to a hifi with a phono to 3.5 cable via the headphone socket, I get a horrible hissing.
    This only happens when my Macbook is plugged in, and it is even louder than the sounds it should be producing. Like if I'm playing a song in iTunes at full volume, and then connect it to the hifi, the hissing would be several times louder than the music playing.
    It doesn't happen when I unplug the power adaptor.
    I have tried it with numerous 3.5-phono cables with the same outcome, and I've used various other sources instead of the macbook such as iPod/cd players and they all play fine.
    Anyone know what can be done about this?
    I have PC speakers which work fine with it.
    Also recently my headphone socket seems a lot more...delicate (I haven't slept in a while and can't think of the word - sorry).
    Basically when I first got my mbp it was fine, but now if whatever is being plugged into the socket is nudged slightly, it will cut out temporarily. This happens regardless of what is being plugged in.
    Thanks

    I also have a macbook pro and an Apple Hi Fi. For one thing, you have to baby the Hi Fi, they can be pretty finicky and delicate and it doesn't take much for them to malfunction which I believe is part of the reason that Apple discontinued them. I also use a 3.5mm jack- 3.5mm jack to connect my macbook pro to my hifi and have no issues. Now what it sounds like is going on is that the issue is on the Macbook Pro side of things. How old is your MBP? Is there any light emitting from the audio jack on the laptop, as that can be an indicator of trouble. I get that hissing sound too so I'm pretty sure I know what yours is caused by. Basically, when a 3.5mm audio cord is plugged into the Hi Fi on one end but not properly into something at the other end, and the unplugged (or partially plugged) cord touches something else conductive/metal it will hiss really loudly. This should only occur when the Hi Fi's volume is turned up. Have you checked any other devices (output) like another speaker if possible to see if your mac's audio out port (the one with the headphone icon on it) is broken or malfunctioning. I am using a Belkin 3.5mm-3.5mm audio cord and it works well. So I'm guessing the issue is your audio-out but if all else fails it is possible to connect a macbook pro to a Hi Fi with a Toslink fiber optic cord. I don't know why this would fix the problem but if you truly have no issues with any other input to the hi fi and you have tried multiple audio cords (when audio cords get worn in my experience they will cause problems too, but that problem would likely present as getting single-channel audio interference (which would sound like listening to an ipod with headphone) then maybe a digital audio cord is the way to go. On top of that, a digital audio cord would dramatically improve the volume and sound quality (its roughly the difference in sound between listening to music on a docked ipod vs. plugging an ipod in via the audio out auxiliary jack). But, I would say your likeliest problem is the connection between the audio cord and the audio out port on the macbook pro. Hope this all helps!

  • Broken headphones?

    As of late, the headphones that came with my ipod crapped out. The bass is distorted etc.. My friend told me that he was in NYC and went to the apple store with his broken headphones and they replaced them for free. Was this because of a special promotion or is this standard practice at all apple stores?

    All I can tell you is that the headphones are covered under the normal 1-year iPod warranty. Are you sure it's not the headphone port on the iPod itself that sounds distorted?

  • Any clever solutions for a broken headphone jack ?

    Wow. My year and a half old, always babied, iPod has a broken headphone jack. Probably not an uncommon issue, but what are my options?
    Is this a repair that my local Apple Store can handle or would I have to resort to some third party repair guru?
    Any chance of replacing the jack myself?
    Also, is it possible to take the audio from the docking jack on the bottom of the Pod and then use some funky adapters to get signal to the headphones?
    Just wondering what clever solutions some of you have found.
    Thanks to all.

    You can use the Apple Remote/FM Radio that connects to the dock connection and listen to it that way.
    You can have Apple repair it for a fixed rate, or you can go to http://www.ifixit.com http://www.ipodmods.com http://www.iresq.com and either have them repair it or order the parts and do it yourself.

    Hello:
    I found your e-mail address at your website and I hope that you can route this to the correct technical people at Cirrus Logic. I recently received an Apple MacBook Pro Mid 2009 model which is brand new to replace the Late 2008 model. It is possible to run Windows on the Mac using an Apple technology called "BootCamp". Apple supplies the drivers required by Windows for all of the hardware in the laptop including the sound drivers. On this model, the sound chip is supplied by Cirrus Logic and is a CS4206. The problem that I as well as many other Apple users with these new laptops who also run Windows is that our sound volume coming from the onboard speaker is not nearly as loud as when we are running Mac OSX with is the original operating system. There is also a red light coming from the headphone jack indicating that the optical output is always on. Apple has not acknowledged the problem so far: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2037093&tstart=0.
    Once again if you could please route this to the right people. There must be someone at Cirrus Logic with some knowledge of this.
    Thanks.

  • Ipod 60gb video faulty headphone socket!

    hi,
    Ive had an ipod video for a few years now but recently the headphone socket has become faulty. when you put headphones in i just get sound in the left ear,if you press the headphones into the socet then i sometimes get stereo again.
    ive tried 5 pairs of headphones aswell as pluging it into my stero, its definitely a problem with the ipod connection. Any ideas/sugestions, my waranty is finished.
    thanks
    Sam

    There's not much you can do about that, unfortunately. It is a physical problem with the connection wearing out.
    You can probably get a decent price on eBay (for you iPod) if you carefully describe it as an otherwise working iPod. Most iPods are broken for the hard drive becoming faulty, so the potential buyers can use it to fix their iPods. Conversely, if you buy an iPod that appears to be broken due to the hard drive, you can swap the bad hard drive with your iPod's drive and get a working iPod.

  • Hp notebook G62-b25SA Webcam problem.

    G62-b25SA
    XR524EA#ABU
    Windows 7, 64 bit.
    I have never been able to use my built-in webcam.  I have installed the latest Youcam drivers and still an error message - "No webcam detected, if you are using an integrated camera make sure that it is turned on".
    I have also followed instructions on this website - I have gone to Device manager and "scan for hardware changes" but I never get an icon for "imaging" hardware.
    I know the computer has the hardware as my parents have an IDENTICAL computer - bought from the same shop at the same time!
    Please help!

    Hi
    You have a couple of options as I see it please try these steps might help you to fix the issue.
    Fixing Webcam Problems in Windows
    Testing a Webcam With MediaSmart in Windows
    If both these links does not work then you might have to call HP Techincal support and get the part replaced.
    If your notebook is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange to have the drive replaced.
    If you are out of warranty and would like a guide on replacing the Hard Drive yourself, please let me know.
