It is not good news. I believe those connections are mounted on the motherboard. If it is under warranty, no problem. If not it may mean a motherboard replacement.
At the top of this page click notebook then your model and download a copy of the service manual to see what you are up against.

hi what model do you have? jocase is correct. it's got to be a mobo replacement..unless you have an i9100 which you can buy the sound card separately.

hi

ii know this is going to sound funny but last nite i dismantled my laptop and found that if i press the socket then the sound comes on. so for now i seen to that the socket is always pressed down by placing some stuff on it and tightening my laptop. dunno how long this is gonna work . hope it does not have any adverse effect.

Whatever works! Just exert enough pressure to make it work.You have proved the socket has a faulty connection.

Give us the model number.
