Handhelds aren't designed to be user servicable. To repair the audio jack, you'd need a soldering iron and a very steady hand, not to mention possibly needing a replacement jack, which is a specialty part. It's possible to repair some problems yourself, but it's best to have some kind of experience in repairing embedded electronics.
