Headphone jack 24" iMac stopped working in OSX and Windows

I was in windows XP and my headphone jack suddenly stopped working. The speakers work fine but it doesnt even detect when I plug headphones in anymore. I went back into OS X and headphones dont work in OS X either. I reset the PRAM and still same problem. Appears that something died w/ the microphone jack. I don't understand how that would just die, but that appears to be the only explanation. Would an applestore be able to fix this issue? I'm assuming the headphone jack is integrated onto the logic board, is that something they can repair in shop? Or would I need to send my unit back to apple or have it completely replaced? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Forgot to mention, this couldnt have come at a worse time, its my parents computer and I'm leaving for a 2 year LDS mission November 28th. Ive setup everything they need including the OS and they are extremely computer illiterate. Meaning there isn't enough time for me to ship this and have it ship back before the time is up. Does the apple store do repairs/system exchanges for issues like these if you're covered under warranty?

  • The audio out (headphone jack) stereo just stopped working.

    The audio out (headphone jack) stereo just stopped working. On all my head phones (which work fine on other devices), macbbok pro sound is only coming through the left speaker. Anything I can do about this, aside just bringing it in to the shop? btw: audio output is set to middle.

    Before taking to the shop, try Reset PRAM.
    Some sound settings are stored in PRAM.

  • USB port at back of iMac stopped working except keyboard. Why?

    My USB ports on back of iMac stopped working, I can't seem to get any power from them. Only keyboard port works..
    My externals don't work neither and I got all my hard work on them. I think I've lost info?

    I have no idea what happened. However, I believe that you've got to take it back to the service provider and work with them. Call them and tell them what happened and see what kind of a response you get. You might want to try to get in touch with Apple Customer Service and see if they can help you out with the service provider.
    As for "compensation", that is probably a legal matter unless you have some kind of insurance that covers you for business losses. You might try to stress to the service provider that they should do whatever service is now needed to get the machine working again at no additional charge.

  • Headphone jack sometimes doesn't work for my ipad air.

    Headphone jack sometimes doesn't work for my ipad air, when watching a video or listening to music the audio in the ear or head phones cuts off. It's definitely not the ear phones it's the ipad because I've tried too many different headphones. It's been 7 months that I've bought it from the apple store so would you be able to fix it. Is there a  fee?

    Hello SungSungE,
    please check out this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6288240
    It doesn't perfectly answer your question but you will see that I have an answer from Apple regarding this problem.

  • My "9-o-l-." keys stop working after startup, and spreading! ahh help?

    My "9-O-L-." keys stop working after startup and my arrow keys too.
    Sometimes when I start up the keys will work for a bit then one by one stop functioning and then randomly work every so often, then it seems to "spread" to the right shift key, and sometimes the "8-I-K-," keys.
    Around the same time when this all began my Battery completely stopped working too, does this have anything to do with it? I've reset my PRAM and no luck.
    I'm planning on replacing the keyboard, will that fix the problem? or is it something deeper?
    Thanks in advance!
    -Andrew

    I assume you've rebooted? Can you control the computer well enough to make a new account and log into it? Doubt this will fix it but maybe. The keyboard may need replacing but it might also be that the cable has worked loose so that some of the wires have disconnected but not all. Sounds like a trip or call to Apple is in order.

    Steve,
    I appreciate your answer.  While it might work, I'm a bit hesitant to remove the other programs as a possible solution since they are all currently working.
    With Acrobat 9 Pro failing with the OS 10.7 upgrade, I'm hoping that there is a less severe solution.
    Since the trigger appears to be 10.7 and may have something to do with the discontinued support of Rosetta, I could be spending a few hours working on a reinstall without a change.  Yes, it might work.  The "might" is the part that makes me hesitate.
    Is anyone else out there on OS 10.7 and running Acrobat 9 Pro?  Any issues with anyone else?
    Thanks Steve.  I do appreciate your offering a solution.  I may end up trying it if nothing else comes together.

    If it were truly a backup, then the media would play on the laptop as it would be on the laptop.
    Sounds like you actually do not have a backup, instead you chose to keep your media on an external drive.
    Regardless of where the media is stored, it's always a good idea to have a backup for instances like this.

  • Wireless suddenly doesn't work, both in OSX and windows 7

    I have got a new model of MacBook Pro 13-inch. Everything work fine until one day I found the wireless suddenly didn't work, both in OSX and windows 7(boot camp.)
    I tried my USB-wireless adapter on macbook, it works fine.
    In bootcamped windows 7, I have uninstalled and re-install the wireless adapter, still doesn't work.
    Actually it can find the wireless networks but cannot join them.
    I need to mention before then I kept play heavy games like starcraft2 frequently, and macbook got so hot during playing, so maybe the wireless module was damaged by heat somehow??
    Seeking for help ~~~

    Seems I'm pretty annoying but I need to post again because I found something interesting: once I plug my external monitor to the macbook, the wireless strikes, and once I plug out the monitor, wireless recovers... Anyone has any idea?

  • Why did AME stop working after the last Windows 7 update

    AME suddenly stopped working after the last Windows 7 update. After the initial splash screen, I get a message saying that AME is not working and the program will be closed. Then I get the windows message that it is searching for a solution, then nothing. I am using the Production CS6. This happens whether I try to start AME directly, or queuing through Premiere Pro. I have tried reinstalling the entire package and have implemented all available updates from Adobe. I have no clue why this happened, but AME is crucial to my workflow.

    Try to delete the following folders and then launch AME:
    %AppData%\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder
    %AppData%\Adobe\Common
    Make sure to first make a backup of those folders.
