Ready to rock and swap out that headphone jack on your ASUS MeMo Pad FHD10? Let’s do this! If your tunes are AWOL or your headphones aren’t vibing with the device, it’s time for a replacement. Your ASUS MeMo Pad FHD10, a sleek 10.1-inch tablet, rocks a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Before you dive in, make sure to unplug the charger, turn off the device, and remove the memory card.
