pass through headphone jack help needed
wrote:
I have a Dell inspiron E1405 and the headphone jack was broken off the
motherboard. I either need to get a replacement jack or figure out
what solder points to jump in order to get the speakers to work. Here
is a picture of the motherboard and the solder points.

Does anyone know what solder points to connect in order to get the
speakers to work on the computer. Or does anyone know where to get a
replacement jack?
Thanks!

If there's anything left of the old jack, you should be able to trace it
out with a mini-TRS plug and a meter. If not, it should be available on
eBay...or a dead mb. I expect every Dell is pretty much the same,
though. I wish I'd seen this yesterday when I had my D400 apart for
speaker replacement.
Carefully probing the connections--if you can run the computer
disassembled--with a probe made from a set of headphones might tell you
which are the input pads. That would be three out of (what should be)
five: L-in, R-in, L-out, R-out & common. If you can get to the leads on
the speakers, you should be able to check continuity to there to find
which pads are the L-out & R-out and common....
Finally, a lot of Dell manuals are available on the web. Try to
download one...any one, as per the above (identical parts).
