[1000mp] Headphone skts replacement

[Rob]

Before getting into all that, I wonder if a cleaning of the headphone  
plug and sticking a swab (Q Tip) with contact cleaner on it into the  
big headphone jack would help.    Stick the Q Tip in there and rotate  
it around/push it in and out a few times then wait a few minutes for  
the alcohol to dry.   try the same thing on the small jack if you can  
find an absorbent tip small enough to get in there, only don't overdo  
it or use something too big because you'll leave cotton fibers  behind.
