Hi, I have Acer Swift X (SFX16-52G) Model, all my head phones are working from one side only no matter how i change the settings.

All my he headphones work on both sides only when i push the 3.5mm Jack down when plugged to the laptop. When i remove my hand over it, the sound again come from one side.

is it an issue with the Jack port? is it easy to replace it?

Thank you

    It looks like the phone jack is on a sub-board ( IO BOARD 55.K0GN2.001 ) which makes it easier to replace, but before its worth checking with some very fine tweezers to see if there is some lint stuck in the port


    If it was the part replacement, it looks like you pop the bottom, remove some of the cooler, and replace the bit
