check if there's any loose wire in the guitar, i think thats the problem. just resolder it and it should be fine again.
it could also be the cord you use, do u have any other guitar to try the cord with?? just to see if its broken or not?

I think the wire has come loose from the jack, not a tricky problem to fix, just a dab of solder really. Make sure that the jack itself is nice and tight so it doesn't move/ spin round at all, to stop it happening again

hmm, thanks for responding.
it is still connected by a wire, but is it only supposed to be attatched to one wire or 2? because there are 3 pieces of metal hanging down but only one is attatched.
i don't have a camera on me so here's a rough drawing of what it looks like (bear with me here, its some kickass artwork)

I'm not sure if it differs, but the guitars that I have all have 2 wires. The other wire probably fell into the jackhole and you'll have to open up the back or something and resolder it. I have a guitar that has this problem a lot and is a serious pain in the dirtstar. Its usually caused because you're probably tightening the jack in the wrong way. What happens when you tighten the jack is that it twists the insides with it and it eventually snaps the solder. The best way to prevent this is to NOT tighten the jack when it begins to become lose. You should unscrew the jack cover and hold it from the bottom when you tighten it to prevent internal twisting.

you need 2 wires on the jack...one is positive and the other negative if i'm not mistaken...my suggestion would be to plug it into a shitty amp and put the volume up and then touch the wire that fell off to the other 2 points on the jack until you get sound...which ever one gets the sound solder the wire to there...
also make sure that the wires aren't touching each other...I had that happen recently with my guitar. The two wires were touching each other and it killed my guitar...I just separated them and it worked again.
