The Loose Audio Jack: Solder Fix [Tutorial]
v0.2:http://cid-9221f81e10b78ee2.skydrive...nual%200.2.pdf
v0.1: http://cid-9221f81e10b78ee2.skydrive...nual%200.1.pdf You'll find mine there. I'm gonna see if I have enough time to maybe eventually post up a video for this/update the written one. Should work for any P2/PB2. Dunno if the P3 will have this problem. In short, you're just re-applying and adding solder to the three audio jack contacts. Enjoy :) |
signn.....thanks noob....
i'm sure others will love this, but it's too late for me... =( |
Stickied.

THANK YOU !. ..
Last year I bought My P2 and i shipped it back (had warranty) and they gave me a new one... andd now the warranty ended and again. Im having this problem. Starting to have no sound coming out.. Headphones are fine though :P Thanks again ! I might need this tutorial just in case, if in the future, my P2 has no sound completely. |
mine was still under warranty so i sent it.
after a week or so i got it back all they did was erase everything on it! i was mad. i had filled out the forms stating the problem was the headphone jack. i called them and complained, they paid the shipping this time... to be sure i stuck a note in with the packaging in bold letters FIX HEADPHONE JACK. this time when i got it back it was fixed. |
Thanks for this! My son's P2 headphone jack was messed up, I followed the instructions to take apart and also put the solder on, however issue still was there. So I had to drop a bead of solder on the back side down in the slot on the back which fixed the issue. So just an FYI and thanks so much for the document!!!

*Updated with the solder supplementation instructions for the "other" side of the jack. Seems to help A LOT in keeping the connections intact

god damn it, my p2 is just out of warranty and its got a dodgy audio jack. now everytime i got it in my pocket it moves and it cuts in and out. to make matters worse, my E2C's are breaking. looks like i may have to resort to this.. would people recommend this to someone who has very little soldering experience?
|
Thank you!
Using this guide, I was able to save my P2 that broke two weeks after warranty expired! |
well i bit the bullet and tried my luck with soldering the audio jack. I did it but it still is as loose as a wizard's sleeve. Though the cutting in and out has disappeared i fear this is only temporary. Thanks for the guide though. really helped.
|
worked like a charm! though, at the beginning i wasn't to careful and accidentaly dripped some solder on the screen :eek:.
lol, i cleaned it quick and there was minimal damage. so, if you are going to try this, just be careful! |
Tried this and it worked great, I think eventually, I will have to put some solder on the back of the circuit as the guy above said.
|
hey great tut.
just curious...does your p2 work completely find now? Also i didnt have a soldering iron so i just took a bic lighter and burned the 3 points on the audio jack. ..and it still doesnt work. do you think soldering it would still fix it? thanks. |
Mine's still working, haven't had to open it since. A lighter won't work because it can't sustain the required heat long enough, plus it's awkward to hold the flame to the exact point and it gets hot. I would strongly recommend a real soldering iron for this job. Good luck :)
|
hey
i ordered a soldering iron so i should be performing this operation in few days. Just wondering..out of the 3 soldering points, the top left one is near a piece of chip(NAND Flash) and i was just curious how you worked it. would it be ok for the solder to sort of overlap the chip(NAND Flash)? |
i pulled it off just now and its working just fine now.
...but i did put a little too much solder so the jack is extremely tight now. i can barely take it in and out. -__- |
Don't solder the NAND flash or your P2 will be dead. Forever.
