Hi

My audio jack in my s5 is giving me trouble. Have to bend my earphones to the side for the audio to come out stereo.
I'm near 100% sure I need to replace my audio jack.

Can't find a single place that can sell me a replacement. Samsung store want to charge me R700 because they say they need to replace the whole frame (which is a load of bs as it costs about $1 for the jack on ebay) and I can't find another place with the part.

Don't want to buy off ebay as it will take I've a month to ship it here.

Anyone know where I can get it replaced in jhb or buy the part in za?
 
You have tested other earphones right? I'd be more inclined to blame earphones than audio jacks with such issues. And I've gone through many earphones and headsets across various devices for that reason.

And the EBay part is original and legit?
Go to Communica off Samrand and get a generic part, open up, solder it back in. Cry when you damage the phone unless you have micro electronics experience.....

get a decent bluetooth headset
 
On the s5 the screed is glued to the cassing . There is a 80% chance they can break screen
When i had my speaker fixed under warranty they gave my phone back with a brand new screen
 
You will probably have to buy from overseas. You can try amazon, they offer quick shipping usually and they do sell them.
Just make sure you comfortable doing the swap yourself. Or else phone Procell or one of those shops and ask them if they can replace it and how much.
 
Thanks for the advice. Seems like I need to import the part.

Def will look for someone else to install the part for.

If anyone knows a store in sa where they will do it, don't hesitate to shout!

Thanks guys
 
N def not the headphones. Tried a couple different ones n the same issue

They are charging you R700 to fix it because it's an incredibly delicate task. They will only use original Samsung products, and you're paying for the technicians time to strip, repair and assemble the phone.

3.5mm headphone jacks have a lifecycle. The cheap crap you buy off ebay isn't gonna last.
