[G4] busted audio-in port

Cameron,
Not to seem unsympathetic to your plight, but I don't think Dell or HP 
would approach this any differently. It's just not cost-effective to 
stock board-level replacement parts for rare occurrences like this. 
Your best bet is to take your soldering iron (or let someone you trust 
do it) and replace it yourself. Just be careful not to overheat the 
board. I doubt the part is expensive; Allied or Industrial Electronics 
probably has them or could order them for you. The cost will be in the 
labor, not the part. You just need to find one that matches the hole 
pattern and size.
