A small disaster has occurred today. The headphone jack on my T|E has completely separated from the motherboard, removing some of the conducting contact pads that joined the headphone component to the board. Previously I have had to solder the headphone jack back down, and I probably weakened the board with my inexpert work. Now it's off entirely, and I'm not sure what to do! I depend on my Palm as my poor man's iPod. Without the audio, it's only half the device that it was.

I shall have to do some drastic experiments to see if I can repair the damage. If it doesn't work, I may be back on the darkside again! I'll keep ya'll informed.
