Replace the headphone jack

when I plug the headphone or audio cable to the output jack I have to hold it up to hear the sound otherwise I don't hear nothing. Do I have to take the lap top to a tech to replace the audio jack?

I have just replaced the headphone jack, volume button and mute switch ribbon in my sister's iphone

As you see I replaced the ribbon on my sister's iphone. The volume buttons and mute switch dont work while the headphone jack works perfectly. Also it cannot find any wifi networks. Anyone having the same problem? This iphone has not been restored since it was bought. Or should she update to iOS7 maybe that'll help?
Thanks

Thanks but thats not gonna happen. Way too expensive, the company I bought the replacement off send me another one maybe its the ribbon. Im going to restore it first though.

It's probably easier to order a new board as it's separate from the main mother board.

Will Apple replace the headphone jack?

The headphone jack on my ipod classic work, but also doesn't work. I can still play music and listen to my music fine, but the headphone jack isn't working like it did a few months ago.

If your phone is still under warranty, Apple will service your phone for free.
Did you check the headphone port for any kind of debris or lint?
Did you already try another set of headphones? Are you suing the headphones that came with the phone?
Is the headphone jack plugged in fully into the headphone port?

Will apple replace my ipod touch since the headphone jack no longer works properly?

It is still under warranty and there was no damage to it from anyone. The headphone jack is faulty and it is a hardware problem not user damage

If they determine it to defective, then they will replace it.

If Apple EarPods just randomly decided to break into 2 pieces and get stuck in the headphone jack, will Apple replace or repair the iPad for free?

After I was done listening to some music, I of course puller out the EarPods from the headphone jack. But then I noticed how the tip broke into 2, so half of the tip is stuck in the headphone jack. Since they were Apple EarPods, and I didn't inflict any damage to them, would I receive a free repair or replacement on my iPad?

Are you still under warranty? You're going to have a tough time convincing them it wasn't your fault they broke, I predict. In any case, someone else had a good idea on one of these types of threads: take it to an electronics shop as they probably deal with this situation quite frequently.

The music sound from my i pod is muffled through my headphone.. does the headphone jack need replacing

Iv had my ipod for few years.. now the sound through the headphone is muffled i brought new ones but the sound is still the same.. does the headphne jack need changing and how much will it cost ?

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

Is there a way to disable the headphone jack?

A few months ago my macbook pro 2012 (non retina) fell and the headphone jack was destroyed in the process, and the sound on my internal speakers no longer work. The apple genius said that the only way to get my headphones and speakers working again would be to replace the logic board. What I'm wondering is if there's a command to type into the terminal that would just bypass the headphone jack entirely so that I could at least get sound through my speakers. Like I said, there's no hope of saving my headphone jack so I don't need advice about how to re-enable it. I'm hoping for a command for terminal to disable the headphone jack so that I can hear sound through my internal speakers. Help?

Well you have to take a break, sleep, etc sometime! The repair may take just a few minutes.
Your other option would be search on the Fixit website and YouTube's "how to tutorials."

Can you manually disable the headphone jack on Macbook Pro?

I recently got the tip of a speaker plug stuck into the headphone jack of my 13' Macbook Pro. I tried various things and finally decided that I'd take it in to get repaired. I took it into a store called Jump+ which is an official apple retailer in my town (as we have no nearby apple stores). They attempted to take it out and succeeded at doing so except for a tiny piece of metal (copper) which is in the very tip of the headphone jack.
This causes me to not have sound or use of headphones.
I was thinking of trying the superglue trick however the technician made the piece so small that I won't be able to get enough surface for the adhesive to stick to. He also said that since the peice of metal is copper it won't come out with glue.
I was wondering if there was any terminal code, or any type of overide that is possible without having to replace the motherboard(?) that will disable the headphone jack so I can at least listen to the speakers on my Macbook. There is no chance of me removing this tiny peice of metal by the looks of it.
Thank you very much.

AFAIK, you can't, it's a hardware switch, attached to the back of the headphone port.

Music only plays thru the speakers by inserting a plug in the headphone jack. pavilion dv6-6127cl

HP Pavilion dv6-6127cl (Notebook PC)
I have spent over 6 hours on the phone with tech support, but I remain unable to have any sounds go directly to my built-in "Beats" speakers. I can make the speakers work if I insert a plug into the headphone jack on the keft side of the notebook. If I plug in headphones to listen, I do get sound out of my headphones, but I also get sounds out of the builr-in soeakers. Tech Support insisted that either I spilled liquid onto my keyboard. (I did not), I dropped the notbook. (I did not), or the my computer was infected with a virus.
I doubt that this problem was virus related, because the problem happened during a 4 month period that I had no internet service. To be certain there are no viruses, I took the extreme action of restoring my notebook to the factory condition. I still have the same problem.
During my 6 hour troubleshooting marathon, the support technician had me update my BIOS and initiate many lengthy self-test procedures, all to no avail.
Please send me information on who to send this laptop to for repair or replacement under the original warranty.
I also have another issue. Tech support claims that my notebook warranty expires in November, but I purchased this notebook from Sam's Club brand-new, in an un-opened box in mid-January 2012. How can this date be explained and/or corrected?
Many Thanks,

Hello spl1080,
Your headphone jack is not working correctly on the laptop.
Was everything working correctly before you upgraded to Windows 8?
I know that you said that you updated the driver, but did you try the driver for Windows 7 and 8.
Here are the links for the drivers.
Windows 7
Windows 8
If you are planning on sending it in to HP to have it repaired they will make you run a recovery before you send it in.
Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!
Let me know how everything goes.
Have a good day.

The headphone jack.

I'm beginning to lose my mind over this. Maybe someone can shine some light on what I can do here.
I bought my MacBook Pro on Sunday, the 25th. I enjoyed it greatly. I love everything about the MBP.
But no more than 12 hours into it's life, I plugged my iPhone's earbuds into the headphone jack while riding on the BART train. The audio sounded VERY distorted, so I pulled them out, and discovered the volume controls are disabled. One trip to System Preferences later, I find that the MBP is stuck trying to output to S/PDIF. This is verified by the red light coming out of the headphone jack.
I called up AppleCare, and they have me perform some procedures. They have me zap the PRAM, restart the computer...nothing works. So they gave me a case number and sent me to Apple Store Walnut Creek to get a replacement MBP. So on the 27th, I did just that.
No more than 15 minutes after I arrive, I'm walking back out with a new MacBook Pro in the box. Got home, unboxed it, and speakers worked. I was a happy camper.
Until today, the 28th.
I decided to listen to some music while I was on break at work. Feeling skittish about plugging my iPhone's earbuds in again, I instead opted for some noise canceling headphones.
Lo and behold, the exact minute I unplugged them, the internal speakers went dead again. The MBP now (again) only outputs to S/PDIF or headphones. Internal speakers no longer work at all.
This is my second MBP from Apple as they replaced my last one for the same exact problem.
What should I do? I'm pulling my hair out in frustration.

It does sound like a hardware issue. You can go to any Apple Store for service. I know it's a pain, but you should do this soon - within the first 14 days after purchase, they replace defective products with new ones. After 14 days, they repair your product, meaning that in some cases it's sent out and takes 1-2 weeks.
Regardless, they will not swap out your HDD, no matter what. Instead, you might consider getting an external hard drive and cloning your internal onto that; Time Machine will only back up your Mac OS, but cloning the drive (e.g. with Carbon Copy Cloner) will do the whole drive, and allow you to clone back to your new machine. Yes, it's an additional expense (and I was a student for many years!) - but, hard drives fail too - usually at the most inopportune times (for example, just before you print your dissertation) and if you have no backup...well, you get the idea.
Good luck!

The headphone jack desease has cought me too

Well after like 2 months of having my zen micro.. the headphone jack is screwing up on me... sound shuts off.. i hear only the backround of the songs.. sometimes i hear the music in mono.. i dont know what to do i cant even listen to my music any more cuz it keeps messing up when its in my pocket or just sitting...
what should i do? i bought it strait from creative.
thanks

Me and my roomate both have Zen Micros, bought around when they first came out, so they were probaly some of the first models. His jack went out after about a month, mine lasted 2. We both sent them in with little hassle and got replacements promptly. But he has had the replacement for less than a month and the jack is starting to get screwy again, leading me to believe that they have not fixed an obvious manufacturing flaw but are just sending out replacements. The warranty on my player just ran out, but you can bet your ass if the headphone jack gives out again I will not be paying for it to get fixed. I think it's ridiculous that a company with such a good reputation wouldn't take proper action against a flaw like this and issue some form of recall or extended warranty for the problem. Happy for now, even though i do have to re-transfer all my files.Message Edited by Velvetunder66 on 05-4-2005 :46 PM

the headphone jack isn't working...it's will work out of one side...lots of static

The headphone jacks on the iPod sometimes go bad/wear out. If within warranty, get Apple to replace the iPod. If not under warranty Apple will sell you a refurbished iPod for the following. You turn in your damaged iPod.

Is it possible to repair the headphone jack on the Imac?

I have an older iMac. I bought it back in 07 and the headphone jack/audio jack is starting to go out. Is something like that fixable?

Since the jacks are generally mounted on the motherboard the only way to replace them is with the replacement of the motherboard. That will be costly.
