[QUOTE="Trevorj415, post: 911215, member: 122225"] Yes, that would keep me busy for awhile. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that it will be time well-spent, as removing the logic board doesn't expose the headphone jack. It appears that there is some metal casing around the jack enclosure. I'm not at all confident that taking out the logic board would enable me to take the tip of the headphone jack out without breaking the logic board. So far the two options I have heard are: -replace the mainboard. ($600). -spend a couple hours removing the logic board, which doesn't expose the headphone jack. I've read the other methods on this forum that describe trying to extract it. I've tried everything imaginable. Does anyone have any other ideas? What should it cost if I got a repair person to do this? [/QUOTE]
