The audio connector is part of the mother board. Unfortunately, Dell has decided that this problem is not warrantable. You may be in luck if the problem is a broken off part of a head phone jack and not a broken connection on the mother board. You may be able to remove the boken head phone part by using tweezers or use a paper clip bent into a small hook to pull the broken part out. You may be able to find a computer repair shop that can do this for you. Worst case is you may need to use a USB type audio head phone. Good luck
