First off, I am not a DIY person, so sorry for this basic question.

I have a PIMETA I've been using for quite awhile now. The last time I went to use it, sound only came from the left channel unless I plugged the headphone in halfway, at which time some sound came from both channels. I tried this with multiple headphones and got the same results. I assume then that something went wrong at the headphone jack. So, what can I do to fix this?

Since you as you put it you are not a DIY person I think your best bet would be to contact the person that built the amp and see if he will take a look at it for you.

I'm at least the third owner of this amp... the seller told me it was a Rockhopper build, so I'm not sure I can go that route anymore?

when you plug it in halfway to get sound out of both channels - is it still stereo, or are you only getting the signal for one channel coming out of both ears?

This is probably on the contact tabs that got a little loose inside, bending it down will help, but that my be a little tricky as you need to know which is, probably the tip, that should be the left channel...

Well, I opened up the case and jiggled everything inside... very pathetic version of DIY, I know. Now the jack if fully functional again! There must be something loose in there still since I didn't really do anything, but it is working for now. Any ideas what I could look for if the problem returns?

If the problem returns you maybe have killed the soldering points of the jack because of excessive pluging in and out. If so, a quick soldering over it will fix the problem. Every electronics guy near to you will do it for a beer or two
