Usually the male jack is bad before female on audio plugs but here may be just broken joint from jar or jerk but you could try fresh male first
tuners eat power and are tuned warm if its being intermittent may try fresh power happened to my first xm unit the unit will last for a decade on all the time the power adapter will last a few seasons at best
will come apart .....back of quality exacto blade snap the two halves apart slowly desolder the copper wire fm antenna lead on black side frees the mobo its just wedged in there on the PCB with a little solder now you can see
the joints on the female jack could of cracked from pad just touch em up with some solder but remember itl be your pad next time he ha lovely surface mount solderpaste can break at times not necessarily design flaw
don\'t get surface mount pads to hot know how to solder get the iron fully up before hitting it 1 1000 2 1000 done
put it this way if you can see the unit has been too disturbed youll need more diasecting and a parts to repair you can find parts of similar size but unlikely to find correct orientation for mobo without Mouser or parts manufacturer you have to nichrome wire it and get to more of PCB to handle the traces not hardly room without desolder more parts to see whats up
if your undecided send it in
.... hell the whole industry is there in the palm of your hand he ha
