I have a Dell XPS 600 with a headphone jack in the front that's become impacted through repeated use. I don't know if it's completely broken, but the plastic cover has been pushed in. It's kind of ridiculous that such a small component is broken since my computer, after all the upgrades I've done over the years, cost me about $2500. It's like having a broken cigarette lighter in an expensive BMW for me.

Is it possible to get this problem fixed? Would I have to get the entire apparatus that the headphone jack is attached to replaced? All the other connections on the front panel work fine - the firewire, USB ports, and microphone jack.

Thank you,
Krattle
