So I recently had my laptop sent of to be fixed. It came back today working fine, but when I put my headphones in, I only got sound from the right side. My headphones have broken before like this, so I just assumed it was a connection problem. But when I tap on the side the sound doesn't come back like it would do if it was a connection issue.

I've tried two different pairs of headphones, both have the same problem. So it must be a problem with my laptop.

If anyone could help me fix this that would be fantastic!
Thank you.
 
Sounds like the headphone jack on the laptop is either broken or mechanically binding. A bad solder connection at the jack could also be the fault. Maybe due to a problem when they reassembled the laptop. Call the repair facility and have them make it right.
