Acer Predator Helios PH315-52 headphone port not working - next steps?

_swish

As the title says, the headphone port on my laptop is not working unless I hold the inserted jack with slight pressure at just the right angle. Cleaning has not gotten me any results. This is presumably not how this is supposed to work. I'm looking online for replacement I/O boards, but all of them are either for the PH315-51 or -53 models, are from skeevy sources, or are out of stock. Is there any functional difference that would make me unable to use those boards, or am I out of luck here?

This the Audio_Board for your PH315-52, search for the Acer part #: 55.Q5MN4.001, also have a look if a tech in your area can change that headphone plug as headphone port is a common part that can be changed by a technician that has a micro soldering tools and fix your problem.

Thanks for the help! Considering that I also had some lesser issues with USB connectivity on that side as well, I think I'm gonna go with buying that I/O board. I did eventually manage to find a trustworthy source for purchasing it.
