    Soldering Headphones Jacks - Apple Motherboards

    Hi, I just bought a 'dead' PowerBook 867MHz Aluminum logic board cheap for one of its headphones jack. Recently my PowerBook jack must have crapped o ut and makes the computer think headphones are always plugged in. This means that my internal speakers are always muted unless I stick my iPod earphones into the jack about half way.

    I tried heating the jack with the conical soldering iron I usually use with PC motherboards and all I see are either bubbles or nothing. The joint does not seem to come loose. Is Apple using a different based solder? What can I do?
