Headphone jack problem

[Onida]

I have a 1GB chipod and now im only getting sound out of the left channel when headphones are plugged completely in. If I move the headphone connector around I can sometimes pick up the other channel but lose it again as soon as I let go. Also, both channels sometimes work when the headphones are only plugged in half way.

how can i fix this ? please some help..

i had the same problem, so i returned the player and asked for a replacement,but they didnt replace the earphones or the player so my only choice was to buy a better pair of headphones, i got an adapter like thing so i can use headphones with a bigger jack (came with player) and now i try not to move alot when listening to music and i have to keep the jack plugged halfway in, other than that i found no solution,hope it helped

Onida , most likely the solder on the earphone socket had broken off. You'll need to open the player to re-solder the socket back to the board.
