Pair of X551s came in, both with faulty headphone jacks. We replaced one and managed to make-good the other one. Music by; Counterwise - / xdcorndogxd Ertrii - / ertrii
This is exactly the video I needed to watch. I have an Acer Aspire 5741 with no sound or mic coming from the respective jacks. This is the fix I need to perform.
Soldering is defo a lot better here mate , still practicing myself but the better soldering iron and thin solder and flux seem to be key . thanks again PS videos are also getting better mate cannot wait for board repair series .
If you look at the laptops schematic you can often find the exact name of the jack they used, allowing you to purchase it from an electronic component distributor for a couple of pounds. Granted, it might be from China in which case it could take months to arrive.
Is there a way to somehow cancel the termination switch that turns off the speakers when you plug in the headphones? I want to keep the speakers on when I plug in the headphones. Thank you!
Maybe this is a silly question but I'll ask... Are headphone jacks model specific per the laptop? I. E I have a Lenovo legion y540... And when trying to fix my Wi-Fi card right beside the the input port, the jack seemed to stop working .. I mean, the oc recognizes when something is plugged in, but I have to wiggle the input , and then I can briefly hear something...but I have to use more pressure than I should be. Anyway, so yes, the question is , can I order any 3.5 mm jack for laptop or is there anything to look for?
MAN great video i thought those were a pain to deal with...rather easy. Do you know if this applies to usb ports? i feel my mouse usb-plug slides a litte to far in.... Im also having connectivity issues with some ports...
I have replaced the audio jack but still i hear sound from headphones bad. I installed the windows and updated it. And installed newest audio driver and still it's same like before. Any idea?
Can you please tell me what to do mine is completely broken and it won’t pick up anything being plugged into it and when I have headphones in I have to move the headphone around to get a signal but now I can’t get any signal and it just stopped altogether and I don’t know how to tell my parents what’s happened please help thank you
How to find the ic replacement of audio or headphone , the engineer told me its S problem with the ic , can I find it online on the internet ? Thank you
Lmao accidentally chipped a tiny corner off my headphone jack which caused some connection issues. Seems like I managed to "repair" it with my glue gun temporarily although it seems like sometimes "static" or just noises really can be heard. Think my next pair are gonna have to be wireless since I bent the plug. Not the first time so good thing the cables for my headphones are detachable and replaceable, although that has obvi not saved the jack 😅
Hey, I have Predator Helios 300 laptop and its headphone jack is not detecting the connection. I tried a lot with software ( Driver reinstallation, Windows Reset, etc. ) and still, it's not working. Do you think the problem is Hardware issue? It's been 2.5 yrs since I bought this laptop.
@@Adamant_IT thank you very much for answering, i had a strong suspicion that it was like this, because when i see the aux in the laptop, i see six pins, mine has 7 or 8 which go onto the pcb board in a really strange way so that some gaps are tiny and others are really big or wide. My bose was near a wall and when i shoved it back the aux broke. I pondered over sending it in to repair and even heard that there was a good company which does those type of thing for less money than usual, but then i thought that it could still be a very high price. The problem was that when i put the aux in, i only heard the right side of the speaker which is of course not the way it should be. When i played with the aux i could manage to make it play in both speakers only when i lifted it so first i put a battery beneath it so that it would push against the top so you could hear both sides. Of course also not optimal. Then i screwed the damn thing open, disconnected the pcb so i could take a look at the aux. It was broken into the left direction so that the two metals which should make contact with the cable when it is plugged in could not simultaneously make contact with the aux metal which was pushed in. Also the whole front aux mantle was broken into pieces. So, in the end i put superglue on it, held it together with extreme force for about a minute, and now it works again because it can make full contact. It is a pity companies don´t support repair so you have to always buy new stuff, i love my bose.
Screwdriver set, soldering iron, flux, and tweezers I think. The iron I had in this one is a WEP 2-in-1 station, but these days I use a TS100, which is vastly superior.
Hi mate. I have a Lenovo V110-15IAP laptop and the headphone/mic jack stopped working a few days ago. It detects the headphones but not the mic. I disassembled it and the 4th jack sleeve that is supposed to be connected to the mic is grounded, measures 0 resistance to the USB ports metal casing. The jack itself and the solder joints look OK to me, not sure though. Any idea what might the problem be, please?
@@Adamant_IT I don't think it's a software issue because I tried both windows with Realtek's driver and also Kubuntu. Unfortunately I'm not anywhere near Shaftesbury to take the laptop to your shop. I think I'll just get one of those cheap USB sound cards. Thanks for your help
@@-dazz- did you end up resolving the issue? I have the same problem with my headset not being detected so it defaults to the trash built-in laptop mic.
Hello. I need to pick and buy a used laptop. I have already selected 2 models, but I would like to know your opinion from the service side. Which of them do you think could be more reliable? Asus VivoBook 15 X512FL (i5-8265U, 8GB DDR4, SSD 256GB, IntelHD + GeForce MX250) or HP 15s-eq0017nw (Ryzen 5 3500U, 8GB RAM, SSD 512GB, Vega 8)?
that vivobook has a mx250, pretty good for performance, and ASUS is typically more reliable and repairable. Although you shouldn't rely a laptop purchase on repairability since they all match in terms of that.
Hi i built a pc and everything worked fine for months then someone was playing on it and they stood up with my headphones in and they got ripped out cause the wire was tangled the headphones work if u hold it and a certain angle but its annoying ive tryed taping the headhpones like that and it didnt work but anyways i dont have a clue weather i need a new audio jack or what and i need someones op because its quite annoying playing with no volume im honeslty lost for what to do i dont know how to replace 1 or even if i need to
I had the same issue .. first of all, I assume u tried another set of monitors/headphones? Do that first . If the problem persists, it would only make sense that the problem is with the jack.
