5th gen audio issue - apply pressure to case and it works?

Reply by shawn38

I have a 5th gen that has a horrible screaching sound when playing? If I apply a tad bit of pressure to the front of the case to the right of the click wheel, bingo sound is good? Thought the headphone jack was bad and replaced but no go? Any help?

Thanks!

Hi,

on the logic board, the connector of the audio jack is placed exactly where you applied the pressure. So i would think that the cable isn't fixed properly in its connector or the connector itself has a contact problem.

Thanks for the info. I will check it out again and see. I am guessing the only resolution is a new logic board?
