No matter what, you are going to have to disassembly the machine to

layer of PCB and/or a metal shield (or maybe nothing). You may
well find that the jack is NOT physically broken...that the solder
joints have come loose ("cold solder joint") and that a touch with
a soldering iron will fix the problem. Be aware that the
motherboard may to a multi-layer device (anywhere from 2 to 7
layers)...so surgical soldering technique is mandatory. Good
luck...you are going to need it.

Well, in fact the disassembly is pretty trivial, no need to cut
holes. =)

As for the jack being broken or not, I have inspected it very
thoroughly and the solder joints are okay.

did you check the headphones on another setup?
