Question Where to find replacement NZXT S340 IO

[NightHawkRMX]

Hello, I have an NZXT S340 case that is around 2 years old. I am constantly using headphones, and front headphone jack is a necessity.

About a year ago my headphones when plugged into the front jack would disconnect and reconnect randomly. When they disconnected all available audio devices go away in Windows. If i plugged an aux jack in my motherboards rear, even when the front jack is vacant the "realtek hd audio" device still remains in Windows. Then the headphones wouldn't randomly disconnect, but it took some wiggling to get it recognized initially.

My guess is the front jack wasn't properly sensing when a device was plugged in, so it would only work when another device was plugged into the rear.

But recently, the jack stopped working, completely. The headphones work 100% right when being connected to the rear IO.

I took out the front IO panel and did some inconclusive continuity testing. I found the jack detect wire was shorted to ground. I basically gave up and went to replace the jack but accidentally pulled off a solder pad when removing the connector.

TLDR: I need a replacement for the front IO panel.

I cannot find them anywhere, possibly since this case is discontinued.

Any ideas?

Check used sites like Ebay would probably be your best bet....

When i try to submit ticket on NXZT to ask if i can buy a replacement, i get an HTTP error 500.

Not really what you are asking for but, I have my headphones connected to my keyboard. It's a 5+ years old Razer Lycosa, which isn't produced anymore. There may however exist current similar models.

The cable from the keyboard splits in the other end in a USB and two 3.5mm jacks for headset and mic.

I find it convenient to have the cord running from the rear of the keyboard instead of from the case.
