Hi, suddenly the 3.5mm jack on my vibrant stopped working for 1 side. I know there is a replacable part but, I dont know if its just the jack or the motherboard itself...

Does anyone have repaired his vibrant replacing the jack? the jack and antena flex is not expensive but i want to be sure if that the root of the problem...

If there is problem with motherboard most likely it would be software related as long as there is no water damage.

Hate to be that guy, but did you try those headphones elsewhere? Try another set as well?
Yeah, it was the first thing I tried, the headphones work on other things, and others headphones dont work on the phone...

Already reversed to stock rom and its the same :(

Well I guess better start ordering that flex... if that doesnt work either... time to change phone I guess... :(

Just a suggestion, but you could check and see if there is anything stuck to the contacts within the jack on the phone. Something could be keeping it from making contact.

I did, but nope, its clean there and also have a otterbox case which covers the hole when not in use, so It couldn't get dirty like that... Tried cleaning the pins with a qtip and isopropyl alcohol but not a single change... not even a noise when rotating the plug or something that make me think its dirty...

I hope that the flex is the problem and not something on the motherboard :(

Kinda hard to rely in Bluetooth audio now... audio quality sucks :/

UPDATE:

I received the replacement jack about a week ago, but just had time to replace it.

It does the same :( It's the fuckin' motherboard >_<

Well, it worth the try for 9 dollars, but just feel disappointed it doesn't work

I though maybe you guys wanted to know and thanks for the help though
