My audio socket connector part for atom xda life is broken. I broke 2 of the pins total 6 pins.
I try to search the internet to look for the sparepart
the sparepart looks like 2SJ-A427-001 Singatron Enterprise model.
However i try to return back to service center and they mentioned to replace with new motherboard and cost me grand new atom life phone
If anyone could help me, where to buy it.
Thanks.
You can fix it yourself by purchasing the audio socket. To do this you would need some experience with soldering irons. This would involve you using the soldering iron to melt the solder and preferably remove the solder from the circuit which holds the socket in place. Once the solder has been removed you can detach the broken socket and place your one in the same slot. From there just feed solder to the circuit while melting it to the board.
Alternatively, you could search around a bit more for more service centres to get the motherboard cheaper or you could purchase a brand new atom if its really that expensive.
Got my TP from a friend and it works OK, but the pins on the USB connector were bashed in. I can get an insurance replacement for the $100 deductible but was wondering if there is a source for the USB jack and if it's a reasonable DIY repair.
Any thoughts?
My usb jack is also broken. need to replace a new one
WHERE TO BUY?!?!
hi, i have accedentally fried my audiojack by connecting it to a 20v CURRENTsource. and yes it fried the audio jack or other components, and now my my works still fine, only the audio jack stoppped working, only with high volumes and the sound is very cracky with a lot of noise, can i fix this by just replacing the 3.5 jack module?
Hey, you posted in the wrong section, but ouch about your problem. Something similar happened to me with an iphone and the connector was just fine, it was the circuit board that was damaged, and the phone needed a whole motherboard replacement.
Maybe your backup solution will be playing audio through USB with an OTG cable and a portable DAC. I think it only works on some CM11 roms, never tried it myself.
There's a thread about it on this forum : http://www.head-fi.org/t/667838/samsung-galaxy-s4-compatible-portable-dac-amps/120
That or bluetooth.
Hi, yeah you should be able to replace it, found the part on eBay: Here
This video at 4:28 shows where it goes Youtube
Good luck!

Replacing the port is easy. But the port is almost certainly not damaged. Its just metal. Metal doesn't mind a 20v current.
Its likely the board the port is attached to is fried at that point. That is much harder to repair, if it can be done at all.
can it be that just the connector to the plug is damaged? because i can play music on speaker fine

Can it be? Sure. Anything can happen.
The likelihood of it is very low though. The connector plug is nothing other than a metal hole with a bent price of metal inside that puts pressure on an inserted plug. There are some plastic insulator prices in there as well. But that is it. Its not a complex design, just metal and plastic.
You could put 500 volts through that plug without hurting the physical plug itself. Voltage isn't harsh to metal or plastic. Metal can handle it. Plastic doesn't even know high voltage is there. Now high amperage would fry the physical socket by overheating the metal to its melting point, but I would doubt that whatever 20v source you had a 3.5mm plug hooked into was producing high amperage. Even if you had it plugged directly into your home's wall socket the plug socket itself could handle it. You'd have to have hooked the socket up to a car battery to physically fry the socket.
Keep in mind that you could plug a million volts into the plug socket itself and not fry it because the plug wouldn't draw a ton of current. The receiving end of an electrical circuit determines how much amperage is drawn. You can't force amperage into a circuit, only voltage. Amperage is all determined by what is plugged in. (You can plug a vacuum cleaner into a wall socket and the socket will have 12 amps of power. But plug a desk lamp into the same socket and it will draw less than 1amp)
Now if the socket itself had an electrical short that would cause a larger amperage draw that could fry the metal itself or at least overheat it until the plastic insulators melted. But again you would have to plug it into a wall socket for that kind of power. It's unlikely that whatever was giving you 20v to a 3.5mm cable had any capability to produce amperage high enough to break the socket itself.
Also, if the socket itself did get fried you would know it without question. It would have made a nasty spark, smelled like burning, and the whole phone would probably not be working at all right now.
High voltage by itself though, without heavy amperage, can EASILY fry the circuit board components near the plug socket. And that wouldn't affect your speaker at all because the speaker is on the other side of the phone on a completely separate circuit board.

thanks for the answer, i used a source with charged capacitors(i hadnt got a soldering iron to fix my phone, so i melted the wires with a high current which worked, only i removed the 0 wire from the broken earphones before the 20v wire),yes very stupid, but i opened my phone, no visible damage, i saw a spark when it happend but i am happy it didnt do any more damage, i will buy a bluetooth headphone.
MY s4 was dropped into water i put it in a bag of rice for a full day and the only issue is it keeps thinking the headphones a plugged in. I replaced the headphone jack with a new one and i still have the same issue.
Any ideas?
My headphone jack decided to stop working yesterday. Unless you put pressure on the input wire in a specific way I'm only getting some weird mono sound. Does the same with multiple devices so it's definitely the phone's jack. Pretty pissed, owned smart phones since they became a thing and this has never happened before. For how much money these cost it's disappointing.
Anyway, is the Axon 7 capable of outputting audio to earbuds if I buy one of those Type-C to 3.5mm adapters so I can have a headphone jack again?

Yeah, but AFAIK you'll not use the DACs of the phone.
I guess it doesn't hurt to ask, but what do you see when you look at the headphone jack from above? I see 4 small contacts (2 in ine side, 2 in the other). If one is jammed somehow you might be able to use a needle to fix it.
You've got all the right to be pissed, but I'd say the design of the jack is better than jacks of most phones I had before. This one is one closed piece of rubber with the pins coming from the sides. On my other phones the rubber piece was cut above and below, or it didn't have a bottom part, so water could get inside pretty easily...
Again, just check if one of the contacts didn't get jammed there. Otherwise try lubricating the pins just a little with a needle, then push them, see if they spring back to position. Since you described weird mono sound I guess both lower contacts got broken
I'm guessing that's my problem. I see three contacts and then a little nub on the wall on the left side. Guessing a contact used to be there and why if I hold pressure it works.
Figured out which pin it was. It's not broken, it's ever so slightly jammed down into its recess. Can't get it to come back out. That's it, my headphone jack is worthless and my phone has no resale value because of a millimeter of movement by this tiny pin not poking out all the way. Excellent.
How about contacting ZTE? This should definitely be covered by warranty.
