[SOLVED] CSO Headphone Jack Faulty

Hi folks,
I completed my CSO a few weeks ago, and everything works great ... except the headphone jack. IMO I have a jack with a faulty connection - to get proper stereo output I have to hold in the jack, when I let go I get like 30% mono signal. I've tried various different pairs of headphones, a couple of different adapters straight to audio mixer. PCB in the case and out, always the same behaviour. So it's 99% sure the contact.

Tried to mail Kite, no response so far. Has anyone had contact recently? If not, does anyone know the part number of the included jack, as I might end up having to replace it, because having no sound track to my mobile gaming kind of sucks so far....

Just to follow up:

Kite mailed me yesterday with some ideas. I flexed the board a bit, noticed there was a cold joint on one of the headphone jack connections. Fixed that with the soldering iron and I have a nice stereo signal coming out!
