The jack shorts out the ground and "switch" pin when it is in circuit. When you remove it, you reopen that connection and need to close it again on the motherboard if you remove the headphone board.

So my question should be: How do i close “that connection” on the motherboard?
Could you please explain to me how do to do that?

It's been explained several times in this thread, but maybe a photo reference will help.

Hey guys, I’m having the same problem. I had a broken headphone board, so I ripped all the cables that connects the headphone board on the main board.. now I got no sound from the speaker. Can someone please help me on that?

They aren't available with headphone jacks installed right now, but it's a nice little space saving thing that keeps the DMG looking stock.

removing this PCB basically removes the switch that engages the speaker.  you've got to switch it back on again somehow.  a jumper should do the trick.  or a bit of hook up wire if you want it insulated

the switch in the jack is a grounding switch.

I must have inadvertently did something else in there.  I'll check again.

Well, it is - in a way. There's a switch in the headphone jack which turns the speaker on and off. But I think it should be always on if you cut all the wires.

Here is the gameboy scheme, the switch is in the bottom right corner (of the first picture).

If you make the new prosound jack pre pot then you can turn down the speaker with the volume pot like normal and still hear the jack. The bad thing is there will be no volume control when using headphones.
