The HP Pavilion headphone jack is an audio port that sends and/or receives audio signals to connect devices like headphones, external speakers, or headsets. Replace your 15-p214dx Headphone Jack if the jack is loose, broken, or if there is an internal problem, such as a detached or damaged solder connection to the motherboard. A solder connects electronic components to the conductive pathways on a printed circuit board (PCB). Some other common reasons for replacement include sound coming only from one side, no sound at all, or scratchy audio quality. This guide will show you how to maneuver through your computer and replace the headphone jack successfully.
Once your circuit board is removed, you must dispose of it properly.
