Title: DAP Repair (loose headphone jack)
Post by: airbladder on September 18, 2010, 09:32:20 PM
As of yesterday I have three portables with loose headphone jacks.  I have a 30 gb ipod video, 60 gb iaudio x5, and a 8gb sansa clip +.  Just can’t stop using full sized headphones and sooner or later it strains the headphone jacks and they stop working rite.  You know what I am talking about; sound out of one channel unless you wiggle the connection. 
Is there any way to get these fixed?  I don’t have much confidence pulling things apart myself.  Hell I wouldn’t mind if a pig tale was soldered in place, at least that this wouldn’t happen again.  Any info would be great.
