Red light in headphone jack and no sound from internal speakers.

Hi,


I have a 15" MBP and recently a red light has appeared in the headphone jack. This red light coincides with the loss of audio from internal speakers. I've tried pulling a haedphone minplug in and out to no avail. Red light = NO AUDIO. Any help is greatly appreciated.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7), MBP 13.3 2.7 GHZ 8GB i7

The red light was on, I restarted my macbook, the light was gone but the sound didn't return. I used a stick to poke it and wiggled in a circular motion but that didn't work.


I blew it and still wasn't working, but I put my mouth against the hole and blew as hard as I could and the sound came back within 10 seconds!
