That would be the base-unit cover you are asking about. I don't know how "repairable" the headphone jack is. You ask about "reconnecting" it, but it's soldered onto the main PCB. If it's a problem like you describe, it is possible that the jack unit itself has some internal damage, and the only way to fix it would be to remove and replace it.
Nonetheless, in answer to your question, to remove that rear cover, look at the "back" of the base, i.e. the opposite side from the QWERTY keyboard. Remove the battery, and you'll see 2 small Phillips screws. Use a #0 or #00 Phillips screwdriver to remove these. Then pull out the 3 hole plugs along the edge of the case nearest the hinge, and remove these 3 Phillips screws as well.
Now the case is no longer screwed down, but the two sides are held together by the typical internal tabs and slots you find on 2-piece plastic cases. You'll have to pry it carefully apart and feel your way around to find each of those clip points. It's easy to damage or break the case in this operation unless you have some kind of appropriate prying instrument, so be careful!
Having said all that, I don't know if you'll be able to do much repair on the headphone jack, other than replacing it, if you have the skills and can find a replacement part.
I'm still uncertain about whether you could do an effective repair on the headphone jack, but I posted pictures that show how to remove the base unit cover and what it looks like inside at this link:
