HAHA, oh, are you saying that the audio is f'ed up because there is no current on those pins?
Have you had that issue before? I'll give it a whirle, but i don't understand it. Front audio jacks on MB are optional, they don't need to be connected. Or are you saying that he accidentally took a jumper off that needed to be on there?
Either way i'll give it a try - i'm not flaming on you or anything, just confused as to why that would matter. I'm sure he's willing to try anything - thanks!
