OTVery low-level hardware question

About 1 1/2 years ago I bought a small SanDisk MP3 player that worked off a
flash drive.
Recently I started to have problems with it. The sound would start to drop
out when the unit was jostled.

I opened the unit and it seems that one of the points where the ear phone
jack joins the main board is loose. 

Before I get out my soldering iron (if I can find it) I was wondering if
there's some alternative technology out there, i.e. a conductive adhesive
that could be used in place of solder. I've never heard of anything like
that existing, it's just seems like a good - and somewhat obvious - idea.

Does anyone know if such a thing exists?

Regards,
Jim.
