I just received this Compaq Evo n600c laptop I bought on ebay today and there seems to be a problem with the speakers. I reinstalled the drivers and when I put a dvd in no sound comes out. I tried the earphone part and I noticed when I put the earphone jack halfway in the computer...the speakers work, and if I insert it all the way in, sound comes through one side of my headphones so I move the jack around and I get sound out of both earphones for a minute. so, maybe there's a short in a wire connection somewhere in the computer? Should I try to take it to someone maybe and see if I can fix the problem because it seems the speakers do work, if I put the HEADPHONE jack halfway in...I'm just trying every solution before I complain to the seller. Thanks so much for your help sounds like a BAD audio jack.

id complain a.s.a.p. before the seller thinks u did it and u want him to fix it for free.If you PUSH the jack in halfway and can hear sound in both earpieces, you are probably bridgin the left and right connections on the jack - i.e. both earpieces are receiving the same channel. A common fault on audio connections.

Replacing the jack socket on a laptop is NEVER an easy job. Repair MAY be prohibitively expensive.
