this happened to me. dont send it mate, too many complications.
a lot of people have said this, but yeah, the solders probably loose. open your baby up and have a look at the soldering around the headphone jack. one or more of the connecters should be loose.
if youve never soldered before take it into a computer or electronics shop. they should have the problem fixed in a day or less.
but if you know how, grab a soldering iron and just melt the points back down into place. hopefully the connections will melt together again and youll be sweet. if you want, shove some superglue around that area to prevent it happening again. worked for me
and as for the jack slipping out, grab a tiny "-" screwdriver (not a philips one) and just bend the lil prongs inside the headphone socket back out. chances are youve pushed them too far in and they just need pulling back out :wink:.
