Hi my headphone jack broke after I dropped it. Where can I buy a replacement jack?

I bought a Fuze off ebay and the previous owner in repairing the phone rip off the external speaker wires and broke off the connector attach to board.
The solder pads and still there, actually the 2 posts still present on the mainboard.
Where can I buy the speaker connector? so I can re solder it back onto the board?
I can post pics if needed to better explain.
My last option is to buy a parts phone, will a sprint htc touch have the same speaker connector? or will it have to be another fuze.
My other option which I don't want to do is dig up my parts bin for a generic connector, so it can be disconnected to take apart.
If you are skilled enough to re-solder a connector in the first place, why don't you solder your own connector instead of trying to replace the original one. Better yet, solder a wire to the board to an alternate connector,then replace the connector on the speaker leads to the matching alternate connector. I already tore one speaker wire when opening my Fuze, because its is too short. Luckily I did not yank the connector so I was able to purchase a replacement speaker for $10 and reconnect.
I wanted it look stock, but it's hard to find a cheap parts phone so I will just solder on a different connector.
Hey guys, I am having an Audio Jack problem. I bought a pair of Image S4's that are awesome, but they don't work in my HTC sensation, unlike every other device I use them for.
When I push left on the end of the jack(rubber part) when in the phone, it loses sound out of the left speaker, and always skips when I move around or pu put the phone in my pocket. I know this is not a backcover issue because when I take the backcover off I get the same issue. It jack is long and skinny not L shaped btw, anyone know how I might solve this? Is it because the sensation's jack is to loose?
Your audio jack is loose of the mainboard. Get your phone to a htc repair service

anyone else?

I had no sound a all and headphone pin was not going all the way in...swirled some rolled tape in and whole lotta lint crap came out and I can hear now...
I loved the sound quality on the default one, but the wire at the end of the jack got torn off because of the way the wire stands such that if the wire hangs on one side, and I move it to the other side, then the ends of wire near the jack comes off soon.
Im looking for a new and better one. Any help?
I like to wear my headset with my Nexus 5X in the pocket and walk around. Unfortunately, the cord got stuck on the kitchen drawer and came out. Now, the headphone only works if I push it and hold it continuously pushed to the left. I tried to put a paper clip in there to straighten things out, but no luck. I've tried other headphones and have the same problem.
Any suggestions? Should I just replace the headphone jack?
Thanks!
sounds like the headphone jack got damaged when the cord got pulled out and possibly made worst when you tried to correct it with the paperclip, I'd suggest reading a guide on ifixit for the repair process.
The headphone jack is pretty easy to replace and can be purchased from ebay. No need to remove the battery, just the back cover, motherboard cover, and motherboard: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Nexus+5+Headphone+Jack+Replacement/73195
Working again
Thanks for the tips.
One mistake - I actually have a Nexus 5X phone, but it is very similar.
I used the following guides:

https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus+5X+Teardown/51318
The headphone jack port on the Nexus 5X is actually very easy to replace. It is just pressure fit into place.
I forgot how snug the fit of a headphone jack is into the port though! I think it loosens over time.
But the main thing, it's working again!
glad to hear it, and at least you know what to do the next time this happens
Hello,
The headphone jack on my Xperia 5 II allows the wiggle of the jack, I can shake the male jack when inserted and feel the headphone jack move, is this normal?
My older phones if I wiggle the jack I don't feel any movement/motion of the jack itself, but the 5II is my first IP68 phone so don't really know if is normal and is because of the water protection or if my jack is messed up.
Can anyone confirm if this is normal?
Thank you in advance.
If anything it should be firmer if waterproof... which I never count on it being so anyway.
If under warranty get it repaired. If not it may go a long time or never need repaired.
You might want to look at a tear down vid and see how the jack is mounted.
Thank you for your reply.
But did you try to insert a headphone jack and wiggle? Did you felt any movement?

I don't have this phone. Sony tech support may have a demo on the floor. See what they say.
Jacks/jack plugs should mate tight...
It does wiggle 0.5mm the most. There's usually a pair of clamps inside the plug to "grab" the jack, and I guess it's what makes it wiggle.

Same here! It does wiggle a bit (slightly more than my old Xperia X) but if I compare them both I can easily see clamps on Xperia 5 II but on Xperia X those are not easily visible (in top view). This could be due to design change to make 3.5mm jack more flexible or could be because it now supports most of the 3.5mm connects as oppose to supporting certain type on previous Xperias (mono vs stereo or TRS vs TRRS!?).
Thank you very much to both for testing on your Xperia.
I will assume that is normal for our phone.
