Something may have stuck when you removed your headphones. Shoot a little lubricant in the hole then run the headphone plug back and forth a few times it may help. Contact cleaner if you have any. Let us know. Good luck.

The connector may have broke inside too. Lots of stress on that connector. I have seen it before. Minelab will fix it.

Thanks for the help all,managed to get it sorted,If anyone else has this problem here is the remedy,remove 5 screws holding the two handle halves together,this will expose the micro switch that the headphone jack activates,the switch can be removed and the contacts cleaned in my case there was a small collection of dust inside,I think this is due to the jack point being open to the elements.........hope this helps if anyone else has the same problem
