Hi all, My Powerbook Firewire has recently taken to dropping its audio-out signal when the cord is moved. I swapped out the cord and the fault seems to be with the jack.
Has anyone else had to crack their PB open to repair this problem? I plan to reflow the solder on the connector and possibly add a jumper soldered point-to-point to prevent the problem from recurring if the trace breaks again, depending on what i see inside. I've added an Airport card to this machine, and repaired other PC's in the past, so I will probably be able to get in there without trouble, but that will be the deepest I've ever gotten into this computer's innards. Comments? Suggestions? Breakdown and rebuild manuals? Dan --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
