Unhappy broken headphone jack
Hi,
a couple of days ago the headphone jack on my H140 gave up. I can sometimes get sound by twiggling the plug around, but after about 2 seconds, or by changing position ever so slightly, the phones go dead again. Luckily, the player comes with a line-out of course, so I can still plug the headset in there. However, I would prefer to use the proper headphone jack of course, so my question is; does anyone know if this is something that can easily be fixed?

Hi Enrico,

this is a common enough issue with the H1XX series. And there are many threads on Mistic River detailing it.

Check out this one for example:
jack

Hope this helps you solve your problem

Well found tine, i must say you are getting so much better at this...

It also reminded me of a thread in the FAQ that Sanitarium wrote. Its a simpler fix than the one above and may be worth trying before doing something a bit more intense. Granted this one is for the H300 series, but im sure the headphone jacks are the same.

So give this a look first.

I have noticed that the search nazi's have quietened down a lot these days. We are becoming n00b friendly

There's always time for quick n dirty - help that is!

And yes, I am trying to be helpful. It's difficult when a search nazi doesn't dip in straight off to make the question go away

Cool, thanks for the pointers!! I got one more quicky though; won't I need some kind of special driver to disassemble the player? I mean, it looks like the cover is fastened with some tiny weirdo screws I've never seen before.. It's not just plain unbrako is it?

No its called a torx driver. Its a T5 torx driver, you will get one from most electronics shops like maplins.

Excellent, thanks caramelsoul. I've never even heard that term before.. It sounds like a TM'ed name though, so it's probably called the same in Norwegian.. Thanks for the help!

If you cant get your hands on one you could purchase a precision screw driver set. The 1.4mm one will work no problem as well.
