    My IFL90's headphone jack has stopped working. I plug known good headphones in, and the laptop's speakers continue playing, nothing comes out of the headphones.

    Rebooting hasn't helped. The jack doesn't seem loose at all. Anything I should try?

    Burn and boot into a Linux LiveCD such as Ubuntu 8.10. Try plugging in your headphones then and see if there`s any difference.
    If there is still no sound, then you probably have a bad audio jack module on your hands.

    Apparently, it just needed to be turned all the way off, and then powered back on, cuz it's working fine now, while the windows 'restart' I did before didn't make any difference. Silly computers...
