    The input for recording and what not on my Macbook is ****ed. Its the one beside the earphones input, and its the exact same size.

    Anyone know a fix for it? Or if i can assign the headphone input to do the job instead?

    Hi mate, I have a slight lose connection with the headphone jack on my macbook, it does work but if the jack is moved a bit I will lose some of the audio like the bass which is wierd.

    I rang a repair company and they said because its connected to the logic board, the board would have to replaced :eek:

    Would be great if someone in the know could confirm for both of us.

    Oh right from your post I thought it was not the headphone one but the other one, if you know what I mean :) Most of the time it works fine but It's best to prob get it fixed now before it goes altogether.

    I bought mine as a refurb its the black macbook, I would like to know if a logic board replacment is the only option for this type of problem ?

    I have apple care till Sept next year, I guess this type of repair would be covered under it.

    Have you tried a second set of headphones by any chance ?

    Sorry, I made things a bit unclear there!!

    It IS the other input thats broke, NOT the headphone one.

    But it does sound like the same problem to be honest!! :D

    Just get an external USB soundcard like the iMic or Xmod and use that instead.

    I'm gonna take mine with me to Cork when I go away for a weekend and get it looked at by an apple repair place. I don't know of an apple repair place in waterford.

    I'd rather get it sorted, these sort of things would get to me and I would prefer to get it sorted as the mac is still under apple care.

    Appreciate the advice on the work around though mate.
