The purpose of the Loctite or other is to keep something that uses screw
threads from loosening. Based on your description, a ring, or more likely a
nut, has come loose. A bit of Loktite can keep that from happening and this
is often done in industry. I have many years experience as a technician
working on things far more complex than a loose headphone jack, as have
others here. For someone with decent vision and who's not all thumbs, such
a repair would be trivial.
As I said, you don't have to go to a shop. Just let someone help you. If
you are in my area, I would have no problem doing so and I have had my first
COVID shot, so I am safe.
I have no issues getting help with the task, its locating the help that
remains the issue.
Incidentally, one thing I did many years ago was sponsor a blind amateur
radio operator. This involved doing some things, such as installing an
antenna, which he was unable to do and to ensure the equipment was being
operated properly.
Goodness that really illustrates how blind differs from person to person.
I could introduce you to some blind armature radio operators who built
their antenna from scratch.
Xerox adaptive technology used to train blind engineers to repair these
machines, I believe Frontier computers here in Toronto built them many
years back.
Truly getting help is not something I take issue with at all.
but that still means locating that help.
