Hi, this video shows you how you can easily replace the headphone jack on a Xbox One controller (Model 1708).
The headphone jack is a removable part and no soldering skills are needed. The replacement headphone jack cost approx. £3 or £4 from eBay and you can even buy a kit that includes the 2 Security Torx screwdrivers for under £5 from China.
Many thanks Vince.

Dude, a tremendous thank you to you for this video. I have 2 controllers. One has a faulty headphone jack and the other drifts upwards. I had the chance to switch the working headphone jack and then decided to look at the drift issue, took the button off and flicked it around. Amazingly enough, both now work perfectly! You are the man.

You should get a couple of plastic spudgers for opening things up for future. They are cheap as dirt and leaves no mark to plastic parts like metal does sometimes. Also if you want to be careful with those rumble engines, just put clear tape over them to keep em' from falling and ripping itself off the solder pad. Great video!

About 15 min total. Great job and appreciate you taking the time to post this Cheers mate!

This helped me fix three controllers today! I didn’t replace the audio port blocks though, I thought I’d have a look at them first. All I did was lift up all the contact prongs as well the one at the opening where the jack plugs in. Worth a try as it might give you a quick fix. Thanks Vince. I have to say you do great instruction videos. You give important detail in a clear and concise manner that is easy to understand. 👍

@Sums75 5 жыл бұрын

girlzeyeview I used a really small Allen key and gently pushed it inwards towards the centre of the jack port hole. You can’t open the actual audio jack block as it’s moulded plastic with the prongs going through it. I’m not sure if it helped I just ensured what ever I thought needed to make contact was lifted or pressed in the right direction 😂

@beezrclean 5 жыл бұрын

@@Sums75 idk if u will reply but. How did u push them "up". Like do u mean the piece gold piece getting push away from the black base of the jack? If so did u out a lot of pressure?

@Sums75 5 жыл бұрын

Doc The Thot Slayer! A little pressure and the gold metal tabs should bend outwards away from the plastic block (blunt knife/kitchen knife as a tool) Don’t bend the metal that runs through the block only the tabs that protrude which make contact with the two boards when sandwiched in the controller They work like the contacts for a standard battery where the spring effect helps give contact with the contacts inside the controller. Hope that helps.
