My Problem
Right channel stopped working
My Fix
Easy, took about 10 minutes. I've had my Ipod apart so many times it's ridiculous so it's no big deal. 4 screws, a little tape, snap and it's working.
My Advice
This was the second headphone jack I'd replaced - the first had nothing wrong with it, but the factory battery was glued to it and I couldn't get the battery out without breaking the cable.
So, if you're replacing the battery for the first time, beware you might want to pick up a headphone jack too while you're at it. After the first time, all the glue from the factory is gone and you have nothing to worry about.
