I have unfortunately damaged my Proteus, it fell off the table onto the carpeted floor. The earphone cable was plugged in at the time and the earphone socket is now slightly loose. This means that I have to move the earphone jack until I get what I think is the correct sound. I have opened the unit to see if I can re solder a dry joint but find that the unit is constructed using SMD techniques. I have recently upgraded my soldering iron to conform to the required standard and have built a project using SMD components. It was quite a learning curve even though I have had years of technical experience. What I need is some information on how to repair the earphone socket. Is it an SMD device? and can it be soldered without using solder paste under the socket? Is it possible to repair using a soldering iron with a very fine tip? if so where are the soldering points? Finally if not where can I send it in England to be repaired? Thank you for your assistance.
Regards Allan.
