Complete loss of receive or just receive audio?

Did you plug an external speaker in after fixing the jack?

Check all your joints and traces first. Especially in the area where the ex/spkr was bad.

Beyond that work backwards. Could be an audio amp like Jon said.

Good call Crafter.

I wouldn't have suspected that with a fairly new radio.
