[QUOTE="steelPHASE, post: 514140, member: 13488"] Hey Dave I don't think I have ever repaired a headphone socket in the GPX batteries. Most common issues are the curly cord and the relevant sockets - can cause loss of audio, cutting in/out etc. Plugging the headphone plug in and out may give the appearance of that socket being the issue but it may be just it is pushing the battery back a little and moving the curly cord and its connection. Also electronics in the battery can cause audio issues. Audio cutting in/out, buzzing, low volume etc. I've repaired loads of them. I would start with replacing curly cord - even if that's not the issue, it doesn't hurt to carry a spare. On another note - I wouldnt advise using WD40 on electrical connections. The oil tends to attract dirt and dust. Use a specific contact cleaner if needed. [/QUOTE]
