I think one of the headphone jack switch toggles is broken in my Helix Wheely 5000. When you don't have headphones plugged in the sound only comes out of the right speaker, and when you plug in headphones the right speaker plays through the headphones and then the left speaker plays as if the headphones weren't plugged in.


Basically both sides work, just one at a time :lol:.


Can I buy a new headphone jack to solder to this board or should I bypass the headphone jack and let this baby sing?!?!?!?


I think it is called a "7 pin PCB 1/4" jack".

Any info is appreciated ;)

Joe looks like jack should match up. I would buy jack or check and see if you have parts unit with same jack :yes: I can check mine to see if I have one if you want.

Nice, those things look pretty much universal there huh? Good thinking BBB!


That's why I save all my parts units. Never know when you or other member will need parts :yes:

The only problem with this 922 jack is that it was filled with mud :thumbsdown: . I got it cleaned out pretty good, de-oxed it, ran the headphone plug in a bunch, de-oxed again, plugged, de-oxed, and ran the plug in/out a bunch. I'm pretty sure it will work, but I don't want to waste the time soldering in this one that might have a dirty connection in it....



Bill, do you have one of these jacks laying around that is clean inside? If not, I will buy the epay ones. Thanks.
