    Last night I was watching videos on our projector at my house, using my laptop as the source. I had the HDMI plugged in as well as the headphone jack for audio. Unfortunately when my roommate sat down next to me, he also sat on the audio cable, thus pulling it and breaking my headphone jack. The plastic jack cracked in multiple places and is pretty much unusable without constant fiddling with the plug.

    I took the laptop apart and removed the PCB with the audio jack on it (labeled "CRT Board"). Unless I can find a source for the actual part (unlikely, I looked around), my only option for fixing this is to replace the board itself. However, I cannot find a source for any 4810 parts on the internet. I don't want to go to acer, as they have been of no help in the past and I doubt I can get them to send me the part.

    Does anyone know where I can possibly find one of these boards or anything else that can help?
