[Elecraft] K3: rear microfone plug problem

[Dr. Werner Furlan]

I have the Heil Pro headset plugged into the rear microphone jack. All of 
a sudden I got very bad modulation reports, and when I checked my 
modulation with the monitor, I could hear a very loud noise even without 
speaking into the microphone. When I wiggle the microphone plug, the noise 
goes away and the modulation is clear like it should be. It looks like a 
loose connection in the microphone jack. Are these connectors prone to 
fail? 
Has anyone else had this problem and what should I try next?
