Headphone Problem

[marto_martin]

Greetings all :D

I've got a problem with my headphone and want to be 100% sure its an hardware fault before having to send it off to O2 repair centre (across the other side of the country)

I'm only getting sound out of one ear piece, I've checked the headphones on another phone and the problem isn't at that end. So I'm wondering if somehow unknowningly I've altered a setting (if even possible) which has chanced the sound output to something like a mono or handfree signal where theres only one plug in your ear?

Is this even possible :shock: any hints would be great!

I guess it's more a hardware problem. It could just be dust/dirt in one of the contacts or worst would be that one contact has been pushed in too much. This can happen when inserting the jack not in a very straight fashion.

If your unit is no longer under warantee and you are brave enough to open it up for cleaning, then do it. I usually use a toothpick soaked in a bit of rubbing alcohol for cleaning, and a needle to push back the contacts.

I too have the fault where the left channel cuts out (tho with a bit of jiggling mine kinda works again).
Damn it!!

Anyone have a safe method to cracking the case to see if the jack is stuffed??
(out of warranty of course)

Well I don't know about "cracking the cover" but I did unfortunately send it off for a warranty repair to MPS in Qld :x I lost my high quality screen protector and after about 3 weeks of emails and phone calls the unit finally got back to me....still with sounds coming from one ear :cry:

The headphones work perfectly in my motorola v635 so I know they're ok, just tossing up whether to go through the hassle of be without my pda again for another month :?
