I'm also a bit confused by that. Surely headphone jacks are usually soldered?

  On a lot of laptops, the jack is mounted to the case with a single screw and connected to the motherboard via a short pigtail connector. This eases in repair since you can very easily swap in a new connector without having to do any desoldering.

    That's pretty clever - I'd never noticed, despite having been in the guts of a number of machines over the years.
