Problems with ipod's input jack

phantom_lord

Only one channel is coming through, and i sort have to hold it in place for the full sound to come through, not a headphones problem as I just got a new set, and they work fine with my pc.

Just wondering, is this repairable?

Where do i go? is there a shop i can go to, or do i have to send it to apple or something?

It's a 30gb one, that i got around nov last year in dixons.

thanks!

Hi,

It is more than likely reparable alright. You need a new headphone jack and hold switch cable(i know your hold switch is fine there interconnected though). As for place to repair it, phone repair shops might do it, you could give it a go your self or if your stuck i could do it for you. Only thing is your probably in dublin and i'm in athlone or galway! I'd be looking for something like €25 to do that. Sure Pm if your interested or if your feeling adventurous and want to give it a go yourself, feel free to ask any questions. I'll do my best to awnser

As i said above i dont know anywhere in dublin. There has to be somewhere i'm sure! I won't be up in dublin anytime soon so if posting wasting an option i'd be no use to you! Unless you know someone willing to try it , then i might be able to give you some pointers

€75! Thats a bit much! I thought they might be €50 at the most!

Not too much if your comfortable with electronics.

If your thinking of going ahead with doing it your self PM me and i'll give you the best instructions i can, i rarely check this forum so pm is prob the best bet.
