Repairing the iPod headphone jack yourself.

    Hi, I have an iPod classic 80gb and it is one of the recent enough ones, i.e, silver and plays videos etc. Anyway I've had it for over 1 year now so it is past its guarantee. The headphone input at the top is on the fritz so sound is only getting through one headphone unless I tweak it in place (which is obviously hard to do while on the move). Anyway a friend had the same problem a while back and he just purchased a new headphone input piece on ebay and replaced it himself following online tutorials. Apparently it is a common enough problem and the spare part itself is only about €7 to buy. However it does involve opening the iPod up and taking out the old bit which if done wrong could break the iPod :eek: Bloody thing is like a part of me and I sure as hell can't afford a new one so want to be very careful before rushing in to fixing it myself. I just reckon this is the only real option as sending it off to apple will probably cost loads and takes ages. So, anyone ever had to do this job themselves, or perhaps know of any trustworthy ipod repair people around Dublin?
    Thanks

    Sometimes you can carefully wedge a small piece of paper/rubber etc. down the headphone jack to relieve this problem. I remember doing that on my old walkman


    Video tutorials and other guides all over google if you need them. I would guess that it is easy to do if you are patient and follow the steps
