My ipod touch's headphones essentially stopped working. Any odd bump and one or both headphones will just stop on me.
Any ideas on how to fix this bullpoop :|
fault is not of headphones. How do I fix the port?
new headphones
check the wires
plug the headphone jack in all the way
Once that happens, the only way to fix it is bust them open and solder the connections back together...or just buy new ones.
The wires inside have broken.
No fix for it other than to make the headphones go in such a position where the wires in question will touch always, which is a tedious task.
New in-ear headphones that work decently cost $10-15 here in the states. Invest in a pair, anything is better than the default, I can guarantee it.
It's not the headphones. I've tried several pair (ranging from cheap to pricey)
if its not the headphones, its the audio port on your ipod D:

$10-15 USD? A few months back I got a noise cancelling pair of in-ear headphones for $10 CAD
Buy those $10 headphones; I think the brand name's gummy or something. I always break my headphones, but these have lasted 4 times as long as my average pair.
mail the ipod in and ninny at apple?

not sure about the brand name, but the pair I have are lasting a lot longer than the average pair
I got $30 dollars of headphones for Christmas and they work perfect. Nothing too great (like my friend who got $300 dollar headphones. Good god, I don't even know where he got them) but they work perfect. And they don't break easy, as they have taken a beating. I suggest something along those lines.
Call up Apple.
That reminds me, my iPod is being poopty as of August. I need to get it fixed. D:
I'd like to remind you all that it isn't headphone end.
Also lol I'm Mack.

what
tl;dr
Ask the Applefag.
He knows what to do.
He knows.
hey james valente you if you fix my ipod permanently I'll post a bit on boyah
Just get new ones. I tried repairing them and all the sound went to the left headphone. It was annoying
Right now a Q-tip/compressed air combo worked. Is this going to keep happening?
Err, if it is indeed the headphone jack on the ipod (check them by trying them on your computer), then you're going to have to open it up and re-solder the connections on the jack. happened to my girlfriend's ipod from putting too much strain on the jack..
just an fyi though as someone who's repaired ipods before, the touch is a BITCH to get open without damaging; you're probably better off sending it off to apple or finding someone locally who repairs ipods. (see craigslist or something..)
oh yeah just thought of something else, the connections inside the jack could be dirty. that's probably why the q-tip/compressed air worked. clean it a bit, be gentle.

It might have just been dirty, then.
issue is back
You have to either pop the ipod open and solder the connection back together or send it in for replacement.
I wouldn't be popping open an ipod touch with their price tag though. Have fun!
