This guide will walk you through opening your Motorola Droid RAZR M and removing the headphone jack from the rear assembly. Throughout the process, many small screws will be accumulated, so be sure to keep track of which screws came from which various locations.
In order to access the headphone jack, the motherboard must first be removed. The motherboard can be easily pulled out of the device once the screws are removed and a few snap connections are undone. From there, it will take a little bit of elbow grease to pry the headphone jack out.
