Can I replace my headphone jack?
The headphone jack (located below the power button) on my PPC G5 is damaged.
Can I repair or replace this part myself?
Esta é uma boa pergunta?

Get an extension cable for your headphone and use the rear port. You can replace the panel. Here's the part on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/G5-PowerMac-case-Par...
Here's another: http://www.welovemacs.com/9225979.html
UPDATE: Removal
Using a jeweler’s flatblade screwdriver, pry up the metal cap covering the front panel board EMI shield.
Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the two front panel board mounting screws.
Carefully pull the board a short distance out of its EMI shield, and disconnect the power button cable from the board.
Remove the board and shield from the enclosure. That's it.

Only you know your skill
level and tool set. If you feel uncomfortable soldering logic boards take it to a computer repair shop.

Thanks so much for the assistance.
The G5 PowerMac case Part FRONT PANEL USB FIREWIRE BOARD referenced by rj looks like what I need.
Can I access and easily knock out the old part? In other words, is this a simple operation like plugging in an HDD or RAM, or is this part difficult to access?
