PLEASE HELP!!!Treo 750 and audio socket problem

[jumanji1212]

Hi guys! Hope you can give me a hand on this...

I´ve been got my palm treo 750 since last March and everything goes really good with it, in fact i love it, but 2 days ago i plugged the headphones in it and only could listen through the speaker of the treo. I tried it sometimes more but nothing happened, the only way it works is to plug the headphones and do a soft-reset, when it starts i can listen to music or whatever through the headphones, and when i disconnect them and turn it off for a while, it happens again, so i have to do another soft-reset with the headphones plugged to listen though the headphones again.

1) I suppose it´s a hardware malfunctioning stuff, but maybe it´s not copmletely broken and could work fine with a soft appl, is that possible?

2) If not, does any one have specific photos and info about how to do the surgery?

3) In case i do the surgery, is it possible to change the socket from 2.5 to 3.5 mm? I mean, it´s only a hardware situation or do I have to install or change something in the treo´s software.

Anything would be great except take it to the technical service bc it could take a very long time to get it back, and i use to need it daily.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE

Also, I had my headset jack stick and I used WD-40 lubricant applied to the inside of the jack using the headset plug repeatedly dipped in the WD-40 and inserted in the jack.

I've had no problem since the WD-40 released the stuck jack and my audio was restored.

Good luck, either way!

hello, thanks for replying, but it´s the same way to fix it on treo 750 (700w)? I would prefer fix it by myself bc I don´t even kive in the US so, and my treo still as warranty, but dont want to send to technical service bc this could take a long time.

is there any application such as headcold v1 but for windows mobile?

I think in my case could be repaired by software bc when I do a soft-reset with the headphones plugged it works perfectly again.

SOLVED!!!
I just used WD-40 to clean the audio socket but i think that was not the solution. the thing is very simple.

From my point of view I think when the handheld is turned off, you should plug the headphones, and turn the device on with the headphones plugged in, and this should work.

my problem was i used to plugged them in when the device was on, and in this situation the socket does NOT recognize the headphones properly, so just plug them when the palm is OFF.

sounds a silly thing but in my case it worked

hope this help anyone who needs it
