Hi everyone.

So I figured this would inevitably happen, but not this quickly. The headphone jack on my 2020 Moto G Power seems to be wearing out from the use it's gotten.

The typical angled 3.5mm audio cable I use to hook up to my cars aux port seems to only work in certain positions over the past week. And if it gets jiggled around even slightly, it'll become "disconnected" and the phone will switch to speaker audio instead of headphone audio

Does anybody know if the jack is easily replaceable? Or is it one of those ones that's soldered to the board and could cause other issues if it's replaced? I'm willing to give it a try if there's some instructions or a video has been posted somewhere on how to do it, but i haven't been able to find that many regarding the 2020 Moto G Power.

If anybody is aware of any links to such instructions/videos, it would be greatly appreciated.
