The headphone jack is broken

I Own a 7th generation iPod classic. I dropped it the other day, and now when I plug in my headphones audio only comes out from one side . I used multiple headphones so , I know the problem is the iPod. I looked in the headphone jack and one side is broken . Is it possible to fix this problem ?

The jack is broken. You can buy and fit a new headphone jack/hold switch assembly. Getting the iPod opened up is a little tricky but there are video tutorials to help out. I've done several of these and also battery swap outs.

Headphone jack is broken but works when i forcibly push the earphones in

okay so it seems like the headphone jack on my ipod classic 160gb (which is well out of warranty) is broken as it only works on one channel no matter what headphones i use, but when i push it in forcibly it still works in both ears for a second, but I can't hold it for long. I've tried cleaning any dust out with cotton buds and a can of compressed air but had no luck so far, should I persevere with this method or is there a chance the jack is still broken?
cheers

Took apart Macbook pro 13 to remove broken headphone tip in the jack. Had to remove battery to get to the headphone jack. Now the laptop won't start. The power button is just not responding. Battery indicator showed charge of 3 dots initially but now only the last dot is blinking. The power cable used to light up green initially but now the green light is gone. I have tried SMC reset, which didn't work. What are my options?

How do I disable the headphone jack on a iMac?

Hey my headphone broke of when it was in the headphone jack on the iMac. I've been unsing a USB sound bar that works great but I'd like to use the iMac speakers. I know there's a way of disabling the headphone jack as the OS controls the hardware. I'm running Mac OS X 10.9.3. Could you guys please give me any suggestions? Thanks

You need to get the busted plug out of the headphone jack. Because there is a micro switch in-side the headphone jack that tells the MIDI setup to only send the sound out to the headphone jack.

Equium L40 - Lost sound in the headphone jack

Hi, Hoping someone can help.
My current sound driver is Soundmax Integrated Digital HD Audio. And from what I remember has always been. I've downloaded it a few times from the Toshiba site for my computer and it always comes back to this driver.
The problem I have is that somewhere along the line it has lost sound in the headphone jack. I can no longer tell if i have a hardware problem or if the jack is broken. I now have Windows 7 installed but the problem was there when I had the original Vista program installed.
A few things my system tells me(Don't know if it helps)
Location 0 (Internal High Definition Audio Bus)
C:\Windows\system32\drivers\ADIHdAud.sys
C:\Windows\system32\drivers\drmk.sys
C:\Windows\system32\drivers\portcls.sys
If i can't fix this because it is the jack can anyone tell me of another line for sound out I could use please? possibly USB.
Thanks for reading.

Hi buddy,
Can you hear sound via internal speakers?
That means the problem only is the headphone jacket?!
I think if the internal speakers work but no external speakers or headphone it seems to be a hardware issue. Have you also checked the Windows sound settings for audio output port?
In worst case you need professional help from an authorized service provider. Here you can find a list of them:

I accidently got something in the headphone jack,does anyone have any suggestions?

Me and my friends were prank calling with my iPod touch, when her mom was coming down the stairs. We were WAY up past the time we were so post to go to bed, so I quickly ended the call, grabbed my headphones, and shoved the headphones into the headphone jack and jumped on the couch. After her mom went back upstairs we immediately went back to prank calling. But when I pulled the headphones out I broke the part that goes into the headphone jack, and now it's stuck in the headphone jack. Yeah typical stupid, 13 year old thing.

Where can I send my phone to get the headphone jack repaired?

Yesterday, I accidentally got the tip of my headphones stuck inside the headphone jack of my iPhone 5s. I know that other people have had this problem and looked up various tutorials on how to get it out. I used superglue for all of them and now I am afraid I may have superglued the headphone jack in place. This needs to repaired because my phone is stuck on headphone mode so I can't hear music, alarms, calls, texts, etc. when they come in.
Where can I send my phone to be repaired? Should I do it by mail or take it to the Genius bar at apple? Also, what kind of insurance could cover it, and how much does it cost? Thanks

You can visit an Apple Store next to your place, but you might think about making an appointment before you visit to avoid long waiting times in front of the Genuis Bar.
You can also arrange the service by contacting Apple Support:

Headphone jack pins broken (iPod touch 5th gen.)

One of the two small pins inside my iPod touch's headphone jack sticks out too far, pushing out any jack I use with my iPod. Any ideas on how to fix this or for what cost Apple can do this? (I have no more warranty).

If not covered by warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for a 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs. They do not fix yours.

What's the hole next to the headphone jack?

My headphone jack is broken on my iPod mini and i was wondering what the longer and skinnier jack to the left of it is, and if there are some kinds of headphones that will plug in to that one so i don't have to pay to get my iPod fixed? Or does anyone know an easy and cheap way to fix the headphone jack?

Headphone Jack has broken - dock adaptor 3.5mm female?

Recently, my 3.5mm headphone jack for my 5.5video 30gb ipod has broken, it only played out of the left channel and is really distorted, is there an adaptor to get the dock connector to connect to my headphones - such as http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Go-35508-Connector-3-5mm/dp/B000J022G6 but to female. It's also important to keep good sound quality to me, thanks.

There are online places that can replace the headphone jack for you and many have one day turn around service.

My earpods broke, and half of the silver part of the earpods got stuck in the headphone jack of my MacBook Pro. Someone help me please!!!!!

The end part of the earpods broke off, and now part of it is in the headphone jack of my MacBook Pro. The piece of the earpod in the headphone jack is too small and short to just grab it with my finger. I need help please!!!! Thank you to whoever responds.

There is no good way to get it out.
I have successfully used a dental pick kind of tool to extract one. It took a great amount of fiddling, so you must be in a very patient mood.
Others suggest the risky use of a blob of crazy glue to cement a "puller" onto the broken end. The risk, of course, is that if you get any on the jack, you are doomed.
The guys at the genius Bar will sometimes try to get them out. No charge.

How do I disable the headphone jack remote controls on my iMac?

HI all,
I've got an early 2009 iMac 24". I use it with an older pair of Logitech 2.1 speakers with no inline remote controls. The headphone jack itself or the 1/8" male connection is loose because the iMac will randomly launch/play/pause iTunes. I'm 100% certain this has to do with the headphone jack connection. I want to disable that remote functionality in OSX while still using my speakers, but I haven't found any documentation or information on how to do it.
Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

You need to get the busted plug out of the headphone jack. Because there is a micro switch in-side the headphone jack that tells the MIDI setup to only send the sound out to the headphone jack.

You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.
