    Hi there!

    My headphone jack for my Sony WM-FX42 is busted. Upon closer inspection, it seems that the green plastic outer shell is cracked and as a result, I'm getting intermittent sound.

    How should I remedy this? Thank you so much!!

    The best way is to buy a new one off DigiKey or Mouser, or just flood the crumbling plastic with epoxy and pray that it won't seep inside! Hopefully Walkmans aficionados direct you towards some cheap $5-25 models with the same h/p jack!

    Post some photos so we can see exactly what is cracked or broken.
