Headphone jack problems

[biker]

Hey all,

The latest in my long list of problems with my neuros.

About a month ago, the headphone jack came completely loose and was wandering around inside my neuros.  As it was past warranty, I decided to fix it myself rather than pay to ship it back (again, woulda been the fifth time!) I opened it up, and resoldered it in place.  Now the jack only works out of one ear.  It does play out of both ears if I pull the headphone plug out slightly and hold it to one side.  Does this mean the jack itself is bad?  If so, is this a generic enough headphone plug as to be replaced easily?  I read on another forum that people have adressed similar problems on other devices by applying a drop of lubricating oil to the inside of the jack.  Could this help?  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

If you opened the player up and soldered it back down but you still only get one channel it sounds like the pads are broken off of the board. If you open it back up, are the pads on the player board that the headphone jack's legs attach to still connected to the board?
