    My laptops headphone socket has gone loose for no apparent reason it was fine yesterday and now its not griping my headphone jack at all it just slides in and out without a slight click/grip. there is a slight distortion in the sound quality as well.

    My laptop is just like 2 months old i think this is too early to be experiencing usual wear and tear on an expensive laptop. :confused:

    does anyone else have anything like that? any advice what i should do :(
