    How easy is it to take the computer apart to examine the headphone jack and repair it? Mine is a little loose so the sound goes from the laptop speakers to the headphones if the plug of the headphones is bumped the wrong way. The plug itself is a little bit loose and visibly wobbles. Can the jack just be replaced or does an entire section of components need to be replaced?

    Just be careful. You can fry your motherboard in the process. When I had my G1s RMA, I had a broken headphone port, why I used external heapdhone amp, but when my GPU died I sent it for repair. They repaired the headphone jack also.

    Headphone jack repair = Motherboard replacement when you send it in for repair. No joke.

    Cool, thx for the reply.

    Also, what is the jack between the headphones and mic? My refurbished unit did not come with a manual.
