    Ok. So I dropped my laptop on it's side while my headphones where in the audio port, the laptop landed on the headphone jack part causing it to cave in. Now my laptop thinks there are headphones plugged in even though there isn't.
    Im wondering if there is a way i can bypass this and force my laptop to play audio through the on-board speakers?
    Im on vista.

    i appreciate any help.
