I bought an Acer travelmate c300. and shortly after, while listening to music with headphones, i accidentaly steped on the cord and the audio output jack must have broken off the motherboard. i still get no audio even trough the built in speakers.

i took it to the fine people at acer, seeing as how im still under waranty but they wanted to charge me 500$. they said the only way was to replace the whole mobo.

crazy thought... is there any way to redirect the audio output trough the audio input jack? (with out sodering. software preferably)

i also have this other mysterious jack next to the audio output/input. dont know what it is, looks rectangular, like the small end of a USB, but smaller. has 4 pins and its simply labled 1394. is this an audio output as well?
