    t400, bought back in June (this year). the headphones all of a sudden stopped working but the speakers do. I finally blew into the jack and it started working, weird??! I use my headphones daily and its a must, I dont want this to occur and be a permanent problem - any solutions or ideas of what is going on??

    you would need to get the headphone jack replaced by Lenovo, which i think is the entire motherboard, this a hardware problem.

    As it's still under warranty, definitely have Lenovo look at that and possibly do a replacement. From what you're saying, it seems like a hardware, not software issue.

    They should send a prepaid box to you. Just call them and ask.
