problem with the 3.5mm jack

my headphone jack has kind of given up on me. i can only hear sound in one headphone. what do you guys suggest i do? is it easy to dissamble the phone and fix the problem myself?

regards

Are you sure it's not coming from the headphone's jack itself?

no, the problem is in the phone.

Look at my post below

I thought the Headphones had a defect contact.
But dam it.
plz post the solve, when you have one
greetz

maybe here:
M8 no sound?

Well, now I solved the problem nearly (If I press really hard the jack to one side, there is sometimes no sound on the left side. but before i could blow carefully the jack to one side and the sound was away.)



So, after watching in the internet for a new 3,5mm Jack, I noticed, there is no way to buy one.

So I opened my phone and dispaired it, until I only had the Jack on the motherboard.

On the back of the Jack is a adhesive foil that I removed. After that I had the chance to bend the contacts with a pin to the right position (Now my movable contacts are almost in a degree of round about 15°; try it for yourself)





After doing that, I glued new insulating tape behind the jack to avoid dirt in the phone (If you see it, you'll know what i mean)

Finally, You have to screw your phone together and you hopefully fixed your problem...

I hope it was a little bit of help..

To open it, its quiet hard. But closing is easier

I used this guide:

How to replace the touchscreen!

Removing the back cover is most tricky one, once removed rest things are easy. my mini usb is not working as my/other lappy are not recognizing my phone. i opened n checked the type of usb port and it's difficult to remove and solder new one on my own so it let it like that. using wifi apps to transfer data
