I'm not sure how it happened, but my headphone jack doesn't work properly anymore. When I insert some headphones, I have to sort of press the jack to a certain point in order for the Axim to make a connection with the headphones and put sound out to them.

I'm pretty sure I probably just bumped the headphone jack one time and loosened the connection, but I don't have any experience in taking apart my axim or soldering, so I don't think I'd really be able to fix it like that.

Is there anything else I can do?

I have a similar problem with mine, a bad headphone jack. I just called www.pdasmart,com for an estimte to have it fixed. They quoted araound $65.0 0 to fix it . I have used them in the past to fix my Axim and they did a good job. The price seemed a little steep for a new jack.
Hopefully there are some other fixes

there is some soldering involved in fixing the port. Not to mention that the sound port is tightly situated next to the cf slot - making for tight workspace.

So, figure a new jack, soldering, time/labor, testing, re-assembly, shipping (hopefully tracked service). And let's not forget the possibility that it may not work for them on the first go-around.

All that adds up to a nice base price of whatever they quoted. $65 sounds fair to me. Just my opinion.
