Hi,

The audio jack in my laptop (a sony vaio z1) died and I would like to
replace it. I checked the digikey catalog but could not determine
whether they have a compatible model.

What makes you think the problem is the jack? Did it physically break?

Ah, yes, I suppose so.

When I plug headphones, the main speakers don't mute anymore and
in the headphones I can hear what sounds very much like the difference
between the two channels in mono (probably the jack now connects one
channel to both outs and the other to the ground). When the phones are
unplugged, the sound coming out of the main speakers is okay.

The little blades inside must be broken.


Since the main speakers are working, have you thought about checking
to see if you could addl a new jack but still keep the "broken" one?
