Well done Peter. Oh i hate those crappy jacks. I usually take them out by snipping it with very sharp cutters to save the pad. I will kill the plastic housing anyway, so i can snip the contacts far away from the pcb if possible. Why do the save 2 cents instead of buying better parts..i will never understand. There were crappy CBs in the 80´s with better jacks inside ;-) And they were easier to swap. Anyway, radio is back in service, thats what it is all about. Congrats! Jaja, Yaesu, schön rausgeputzt, hat nichts genutzt ;-) Styling ist nicht alles! Alles Gute, Peter und 73 de Olaf
Hi Peter, these connectors are the same (or very similar) into IC-7000 and often in this radio there is the same issue, with rear panel or front panel. Thanks for your video and sharing this repair. 73s my friend, Pasquale IW0HEX
This is one of the many reasons I am reluctant to purchase any of the big name radio gear anymore. I just seems to me they could care less if it is repairable, and they are not designed to last as they seem to be using very low grade or marginally spec'd components. Nice repair though, and thanks for sharing as it is always fascinating to see.
I have wore out the same style of surface mount jack on a different brand of radio. It too was a little difficult getting the new part in place and soldered but with a bit of patience I got it replaced. The quality of material these use to make some of these parts is questionable. 👍
Hello Peter and greetings from County Clare Ireland. Nifty job. I ofttimes wonder why Mr Yaesu, Icom etc don't manufacture circuit board which would be easier to navigate and service and repair. It seems that manufacturers are hell bent on making it impossible to carry out repairs.
Great videos as always Peter, I have a Yaesu FT-991A with a head set jack problem and on mine I have speaker audio but when I plug in my head set it's intermittent, i tried another head set and the same thing, I can't find anyone that sells this jack part# P1091426, for the mean time I swapped the head set jack with the key jack since it's the same part number but I now can't use the key jack. Any information would be appreciated.
And the volume knob of my lightly used FT-2980 causes cracking sounds. Bought new 3 years ago. My Philips FA-940 from 1994 doesn't do that. Yaesu should be headquartered in Congo or Sudan, not in Japan.
solder fluxant heatsinc grease... what a pain and almost big work for a phone jack of few cent!!!! but yaesu make a really good radio even if i'm icom entusiast 73 de iz3qvb
"Let's crack open the radio". My favorite saying!!!

Just want to say thanks for another fun and interesting video. It's appreciated. Perfect for Saturday morning CZcams viewing.
Sometimes the simplest repair is the most difficult to disassemble. Nice job peter.
Great job as usual Peter, have to admit that changing those sockets is one of my pet hates.

I love my FTM-200. thanks for the video. Were you able to get a part number off the PA chip?
Another job well done Peter. Thank you for sharing. Were do you get the parts for your repair jobs? Best regards Henk
Any history of using a plug that had impact or pressure applied to this jack? Hopefully not a frequent problem. Thank you so much, Peter!
Amazing repair

I’m having that same issue with my FTM400, I will “crack it open” soon. I just hope I can find that exact same connector online.
Nice video Peter. Thanks

Why didn't Yaesu repair or replace this themselves? What a shame.
