Actually on LiIon batteries it's recommended you DO NOT do full discharge cycles but rather try to charge them as early as possible.

I'm on my third motherboard exactly because of the same issue. In my case, if you press down on the jack you'll get the missing channel back. Given the socket mount is below the motherboard, methinks this is a soldering/component...
