replace main output jack

has anyone done this? my jack cuts in and out. i have to wiggle the cable or twist it to get it to come back. i dont record out of that jack, only monitor. its kind of irritating. i called one place and they said $45 and 2-3 weeks. thats to long to be without my baby. any thoughts? im ok at soldering. but have never done this before.

any thoughts?

it'll be a **** to unscrew it all for the first time if you're not well versed in it but i bet you could do it.

Go for it - just take notes as you remove stuff and make sure you organise the screws you take out and remember where they all go again, especially if they're different sizes.

it would be a good idea to try another cable first, if you haven't already. Don't rule out the possibility of a bad cable before you decide that it's a bad jack.

yeah i tried a few different lines. all with the same results. i pulled off the cover of the mp, and tried to locate all of the screws to remove to get to the jacks. what a fricking job this is going to be. Nym, i see what you were saying about it being a ****. im a little intimidated right now because whenever i seem to take something apart and put it back together, i end up with extra screws. i dont want to have that situation with the mp. haha. i might just have to go ahead and take it in and wait the 2-3 weeks. i will be like a crackhead with no money sitting at the house.
