Headphone Jack Replacement & Repair

issues article image

If the sound from your computer or mobile device is hissing, crackling, or fading in and out when you use headphones, it could be your headphone jack. If you have tested your headphones with other devices to ensure that they are working correctly, the problem is most likely in the jack. However, there are some simple things that you can do to try to solve the problem before seeking repair.

Troubleshooting Headphone Jack Problems

The headphone jack may be dusty or dirty. You can try using compressed air to clean out the debris to see if this solves your issues. You may also try gently removing lint and cleaning a jack using a damp toothpick; however, you’ll need to be extremely careful when inserting the toothpick into the jack to avoid further damage.

Another troubleshooting hack to try is checking your computer or device settings. You might need to update a driver or adjust the volume. Sometimes a device will automatically mute the volume when headphones are plugged in or removed. You should also check the connection by removing the headphones and re-inserting them. They might be improperly inserted. Finally, try restarting the device to see if it solves the problem.

Great service!!!! Set an appointment after shattering the phone during a cross country trip. They got to it immediately and it was like new within 30 minutes. Customer service was phenomenal as well. Front screen repair was about 150 but they did have several options at different price points. Had front screen looking like a brand new phone! And they left the plastic cover to protect from scratches until I get a true screen protector. Going back to get the back of the phone fixed before leaving the area.
