Front panel phone socket - K3

[Johnny Siu]

Hello Group,
I have an earlier version of K3 though I keep updating its hardware + firmware to the latest standard.
Now it develops some problem with the front panel phone socket.  Even after I pull out my headphone jacket, no sound is coming out from the internal loudspeaker.  On the other hand, if I config the menu SPKR+PH to YES, the sound comes out from the internal loudspeaker again.
Is this indicating a defective front panel phone socket?  Or, is there any other areas I should look into?
Looking forward to your advice.

Hi Johnny,

Is it possible that the plug for the speaker has been dislodged and
not seating properly or, that the wire at the speaker terminal is now
separated?

Johnny,

I suspect some oxidation has formed on the contact areas inside the
phone jack which are intended to connect/disconnect the speaker.
So yes, I would believe that changing the front panel phone jack will
fix it.

Hello Don and others,
Thanks for your reply as well as others replied to me off-the-list.
Since there will be a new DSP board later this year, perhaps,I would simply wait for the new one to replace the entire board.
