I have a 160 GB iPod Classic, bought just over a year ago… so, the warranty is no longer in effect. Basically, my headphones jack is messed up. Sound will only come out the left ear. If I press the headphones against the left side of the jack it will play correctly, but I have to hold it there in order for it to work. Is this fixable? Or should I just go ahead and buy a new one?
Sasha, it is absolutely fixable. Replace the audio jack. Follow this guide. The part is available at multiple places, depending on your geographic location. Hope this helps, good luck.
I had the same problem with an Ipod and the advice I found online wasn’t really helpful. I found that the jack wasn’t making contact with one of the pins inside the jack socket. I took a small flathead screwdriver, inserted it and twisted it to raise the contact pin. It worked fine for me. Hope it helps!
My iPod 4 only worked on right speaker with headphones . This is how I fixed it in the following steps: Settings General Accessibility Hearing L) & R) should be in the middle of scale.
