Ok so for awhile now a friend of mine has had some audio problems with his Dell Notebook. The headphone jack was shorting out, like what MP3 players end up doing after A LOT of use. (You know, where you have to move the plug around to get it to work in both ears?) But in this case, he dropped his lap top when he had headphones plugged and it landed right on the jack and rammed it in. For awhile, all he had to do was find the "sweet" spot for the plug. Now it doesn't work period. For the longest time i thought the contact points for the plug were jammed in so they were no longer making a connection. He let me take it yesterday and today i opened it up to make sure. After some inspecting, i found that the leads for the audio jack and came off of where it was soldered to the board. I have a somewhat low soldering skill, so i do not want to attempt to fix this expensive laptop by my self. Is there an alternative, safer, way of fixing this? I thought about hot gluing it in place, but I'm not sure if that's best.
