iRig Pro I/O repair

My trusty guitar interface has become less trusty lately, the headphone socket feeling loose and is now quite tricky to engage. I've got a feeling that I could do a quick fix if I could get inside and bend the contacts back out a little as it feels as though they've moved / bent back a bit after much repeated use, but I can't for the life of me get into the wee thing - I've removed the screw in the battery compartment but can't find any other way in. The moulding feels tight as a gnat's fundament so I'm wondering if anyone has experience of opening these, or any other suggestions to getting it to work. I'm pretty sure any warranty wouldn't cover me as I bought it second hand of ebay over a year ago...

edit, oops, I forgot to check which forum section to put this in...

    Did you check for dirt inside ? Poke a bit with an opened paper clip.
    That tool may also come handy to bend the contacts from outside... may need to add a tiny hook at the top to increase horizontal action.

    Cheers, I'll give that a go, it's weird, almost as though the jack goes in too far, I've made it work better so far with a small rubber band but it's just getting worse...

    After failing to fix it from the outside, I eventually plucked up the courage to bust into it. Feels wrong but it will come apart very cleanly with a bit of gentle teasing with a tiny screwdriver. The socket unit was actually a bit wobbly and seemed to work well when I pressed down on it, so I surmised that it was a dry joint type deal. Again, courage was found, as well as an aging gas powered soldering iron, and miraculously despite the small cramped nature of the work that was needed, I seem to have fixed it, probably stronger now that when the factory did it, maybe not as pretty but when the cover’s back on, who’s going to know?

    I didn’t, sorry, I kinda thought I should have, literally the moment I realised it was back together, but didn’t want to stress the case unless I needed to fix it again. Was there something that I could tell you that might help otherwise?

    SORTED!
    There are 3 screws holding my iRig pro duo together.
    To disassemble use a thin screwdriver to ease off the two Gain disc knobs. A screw is under each one. The third screw is in the Battery compartment.

    My headphone Socket was not loose on the PCB but the Two brass pin connectors were at fault. I used a thin screw driver to bend them in a little to enable better contact with the 1/8 inch jack.

    You ought to get yourself one of these kits

    I got one a few years back after wanting to try and fix some old Wii remotes, invaluable for doing minor electronics repairs and has all the stuff to crack cases without marking them..
