Re: [GTALUG] ot: headphone jac replacement?
In order to screw on the ring, some of the threads from the audio jack must be exposed. Otherwise the ring would not be able to grab on and tighten. You don't need too many threads. Put the thread locker on those few threads, reinstall the ring and you should be good. Or put the thread locker on the inside of the ring. Without the ring, the audio jack may have rotated and might have interfered with the audio wires, possibly kinking them.

The thing is that the audio jack threads are not exposed. So, I would have to put this liquid in the case of the machine..which does not seem safe under the circumstances. Sorry about the misspellings, the synthesizer I am using is not fully functional. The ring cannot simply be placed back and screwed down? i have no idea how I would use locktite if the threads must be reached.

What is thread locker? Keep in mind i am working via touch alone here. i do have the ring as expressed, so just where would thread locker go, and from where is it obtained? Karen On Tue, 20 Apr 2021, Don Tai wrote:

This might be something where you should seek assistance. If you use Krazy Glue, as someone else suggested, you don't want to do it by touch alone.

Do you not know anyone who could help. It's a very trivial thing to do. Perhaps if you mentioned what area you lived in, someone might volunteer. I'm in Mississauga.

That's not far from my first address. When I was born, my parents had a bake shop on Kingston Rd. near Lawlor. However, that was a few years ago. ;-)
