I was fixing a problem I had with the head phone jack and when I was finished I relized that my radio wasn't working. Is there any way for me to fix my radio? where is the antenna?

The head phone jack in the Sherwood receiver has dirty contacts. If the head phones work in another device, that proves there is nothing wrong with them. When phones are plugged in the Sherwood, shows s problem with the receiver. When the head phones are not plugged in and both external speakers come on, it means nothing regarding head phones. Contact cleaner could be used to fix the problem.

does it work with a head phone? if it ddoes, meaning you can hear through headphones. the headphone jack has a switch which disconnects the phone speaker. frquent use of headphones might cause the jack switch to malfunction,

Is the jack working?

hashmi903,
To fix the head phone jack on a system you would need to replace the sound card or the motherboard where the headphone jack is soldered onto the board. You could send it back to Dell for repairs or contact your local computer repair shop for repairs.

Look for a phone service center, and get it fixed.

the jack inside the unit either is bad or the solder connections are bad...you can re-solder the jack(if you know how to solder) and see if this fixes it...or else you'll have to replace the jack(which may be avail. through Radio Shack)

If you are getting sound through your speakers then the sound system is working. If you lose the sound when using the headphone jack then either the headphone jack is faulty or your headphones are...

Although, rarely, you may find that opening the alsamixer from the terminal will fix the problem as some versions of Ubuntu have a special volume control for the headphone jack....

You will need to open the mixer as the Administrator
Type
su aslamixer

there is a broken solder joint where it is on the pc board.it is not the earbud itself,because when you pull it out,both sides work.the jack has 3 sections,the tip which is one side,the next piece,which is the other side,and the shank piece which is the ground.the ground connects to the outside ring of the headphone jack.there are 2 contact points inside for the two channels.what happens is the copper foil of the pc board fractures where the pins are soldered.scrape away some of the foil so that copper is exposed for the pins,and resolder it and it will work if you wiggle the jack,you will see the whole piece of circuit board move where it is cracked.after fixing it,put epoxy over the area to make it stronger.

My guess is it blew the power supply. Best bet would be to have a repair shop have a look.

I have the same problem with an XM radio
