I'm assuming this is a common occurance. The only thing holding it in place is the solder on the board to the jack. There should be a clip on the cover at least to hold it secure. Dumb.

Can't you solder it back? or are you just stating fact?

Stating a fact. I had sold the radio, but the buyer noticed it was loose. I took the radio back. It was triggering the relay off and on when I got it back. Now it will not power on at all. I looked at it, but it looks to be a pain to repair it. I though I read somewhere that other people had this issue too.

Grrr, can't get to it to solder without removing the main board. No access underneath, that means removing all the board cables too.

Success! Got it reassembled now. One leg on the jack had broken loose from the solder joint. Back In business, but need to find a better method to keep it secured for the future..Something for others to watch for.
