n810 Loose headphone jack / Torx size?
 

Hello, all.

My n810 headphone jack is loose. When I wiggle the jack (not the headphone cord or plug), the sound alternates between coming through the headphones and coming through the n810 speakers.

I think a solder joint has probably broken loose.

If it happens that I need a whole new jack, where do you think I can get one?

Also, I'm having trouble determining the Torx size I need. Surfing the web, I've seen commentsthat suggest T4, T5, and T6. What's the correct size or the n810?

Thanks.
Steve.

Pretty sure its a T4, there are schematics and service manuals floating around on these forums. PM me if you need them.

Thanks, cedar!

I did a forum search and found the following link to the schematics and service manuals:

Service Manuals for N770, N800, and N810

Service Manual 1 gives me the answer: T4!

Thanks again! You have helped me immensely!

T5 works best for me to tighten the screws on the stand. T4 may be able to turn the screw but T5 was a better fit on my N810.

Thanks, fragos.

That's good to know. Too bad I already ordered my T4 from Amazon!

Will do the best I can with that.

Thanks!

NewAtThis, did you manage to fix the jack?
i guess it's just a matter of time until that jack goes bad. mine lasted 2 years and a month; i tried to plug my buds in and out as rarely as possible. all my mp3 players broke like that. i remember reading about fiddling around with a needle and trying to rebend the metal contact inside. that worked, but only for about a minute. i also found this:
