Turn your Palm Tx on its back.
Step 2
Remove the battery door and the battery.
Step 3
Remove all 4 screws that are holding in the backplate with the torque screw.
Step 4
Use the green tool to wedge right below the backplate to pop it off. Do the top of the backplate first since the dock connector slightly holds the backplate in on the bottom. You might hear a subtle snapping sound as the hooks that hold in the backplate are dislodged.
Step 5
The top of the backplate can now be lifted of the fron casing. Ease the bottom part of the Palm of by rocking the backplate gently back and forth while applying pressure downward toward the bottom to remove the entire backplate.
Step 6
Here is another angle of using the greentool to remove the backplate by wedging it right below the backplates edge.
Step 7
Gently remove the backplate from the main casing. As you can see there is a cable that is conneting the battery to the mainboard this needs to be soldered off the board or you can pull the battery from the backplate so it can stay connected.
Either way is fine it is up to you.
Step 8
Here is another angle of the backplate turn over exposing the mainboard. Again you can see the battery soldering points onto the mainboard.
Step 9
This is the headphone jack for the Palm. Watch you want to do is make sure that all six soldering points are securely connected to the mainboard. If not that is what is causing the issue and solder the pins back on to the board securely so that it is firmly in place. After that the headphone jack should work fine.
