My Laptop has a broken audio port. If I plug my headphones into the headset port only One side works of the two headphones. This applys also to all other headphones I can see the plastic circle where the headphones plugs into has missing plastic and clearly some damage to the plastic circle. I need to replace this part how much can I purchase this for and how simple is it to replace a damaged port?
Is this a good question?

From what I can see of this teardown video for a similar laptop, it might have to be that you have to replace the whole motherboard if you want to do it simply. There is a possibility of soldering and replacing purely the headphone jack component, but that’s out of my expertise area and pretty hard as far as I understand. I also haven’t found this part online anywhere. You can obviously bring it to a repair shop, but it would be pretty expensive. The cheapest alternative is to get yourself a pair of USB/bluetooth headphones. I have a laptop with a similar problem (except that the jack doesn’t work at all) and use USB headphones that work just fine.
Carpe Diem,
