Hi all. I have an iPod Video (5G) which stopped outputting sound recently. Everything on it seems to work fine - screen is great, syncs fine, seconds tick by as songs play. But it does not output sound to the headphone jack.

I noticed this a couple months ago. A few days later I got the idea to try it in my dock speakers and it worked fine, so I thought the problem must be the headphone jack, and said oh well since I have an iPhone anyway. Recently my interest was piqued again and I've since noticed that some days it outputs extremely distorted music through the headphone jack, on very occasional days it works fine, but most of the time it does not output through the jack. So I ordered a headphone replacement through here.

However I just noticed that it's not actually working through the dock connection either. So the problem is probably deeper. Any suggestions? Thanks!
