    My headphone slot has stopped working and my mic one hasn't worked since i remember buying this laptop off ebay in june time.

    the headphone socket wiggles around like it's gonna fall out the hole, sometimes if i try to wiggle it, the speakers will stop working or only one will or one i won't have any control over volume of it.

    what can i do cause as far as i know it's build onto the mobo right?

    The only way i know is to open it up and try to solder it back on and also see if the mic needs soldering.
