Assuming your diagnosis is correct and that the problem isn't a bad
connection from the RCA jack to the circuit board on the left
channel....

Try a new cable (perhaps with a bit longer center conductor) first.
Also you can solder a 'bead' of solder on the male center conductor to
make the diameter of the conductor a bit larger. Both of these
solutions are faster, cheaper, and just as long lasting as changing out
the RCA jacks.
