Is there any IC that I can replace

I have the same problem and replacing the audio jack twice didn't solve the problem. I guess it should be related to the motherboard. Is there any IC that I can replace to fix this?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Daniel Soares, "this particular model has a problem with an IC on the logic board. the solder on the audio IC does develop microcracks and loses contact with the logic board. You can try and see if you get sounds by applying some pressure to the right lower side of the ipod, almost between the click wheel and the bottom corner. If you should get sound by doing so, then you only have very few options. One is a new logic board for about $40 on eBay; the other one is to reflow your old logic board. Or you can try what warnergt did on http://forums.macnn.com/103/ipod-iphone-... By now I can verify that this works since I performed a reflow on three of the boards and it solved the problem. The logic board is of course available at ifixit as well."
