R.I.P. E270? -Headphone Jack short

Hi all

My e270 has a short circuit in the headphone jack and the left channel is missing, unless I have move the plug.  I called Sandisk support to see if I could get it fixed, and what it might cost, but they don't fix them and recommend either to repair shops.

I removed the back of the player and the four live few who appear to hold the inside of the front plate, but it seems to be something more now the whole player.  Do it just out of curiosity, because I am sure that I couldn't fix it anyway.

Any suggestions on what kind of shops might be able to do this kind of repair?

I think I'll try to install Rockbox - I can't screw it up more than it does already.

I was happy with the player and would probably replace it with an another Sandisk refurbed if I find one at a good price online.

read the WHOLE thread...

;-)

One of my friends fell the other day and is irreparable. It was my daughter who was missing the left channel anyway (I did a few mono speakers) but I was the one who dropped by need and thus get a replacement somehow....   :-(

Be very careful with what you do to it-nothing is messed up and there use more...

  • Portege R100 - defective headphone jack

    Headphone 3.5 mm on my R100 hole seems to be defective (I tried it with another helmet and with them the sound is distorted unless I managed to get the plug in the right position).

    I will provide Toshiba on this subject shortly, but I was just wondering if anyone could tell me if this component replacement is a simple procedure?

    Thank you very much.

    Hi Dan,.

    The headphone jack is a pretty basic device that can usually be bought quite cheaply from most electrical spare outlets. The real problem is to find a repairman that will repair to the component level. Nowadays, the trend is to replace a whole PCB rather than simply weld on a new component.

    According your description of the problem as it sounds as if we spring metal tags is either loose or bent and therefore does not sufficiently wityh contact the helmet when it is inserted.

    If your laptop is still under warranty, then it should be replaced at no charge.

    If your warranty has expired, it may be useful to check for repairers of local PC that quote ' component-level) repair services.

    Good luck

  • The manual says I can connect speakers or headphones to my headphones Jack (SVF15A1).

    My VAIO SVF15A1 has a headphone jack (I guess that's a tip-ring-ring-sleve SOCKET configuration).  The manual says I can connect speakers or headphones to this Jack, but the speakers and headphones usually have the usual configuration of TRS stereo (less unique ring on the plug).

    I'll damage my laptop by plugging the standard TRS headphone into a HEADPHONE jack?  Remember, headphones and speakers do not have a microphone.

    One web site says that a TRS jack will be short the microphone and the ground, but does not hurt.

    Here is a picture of what I'm trying to describe.  The iPhone headphone cable is similar to the Sony headphone jack configuration

    You want to replace the headphone jack online?
    I doubt that you will be able to do this because something like that does not exist.
    Microphone and headset is part of the motherboard, and if something was wrong with the ports/Sockets then in most cases you will need to replace the motherboard.

  • Helps the headphone jack!

    Welcome.

    So about 4-5 months ago, I bought a brand new HP Pavilion PC g6.
    A few months later (2-3) I started to have problems with the sound. Whenever I plugged the headphones, the sound would not come to her. First of all, I thought it was the helmet that I was using. It turns out that it wasn't. Then I thought it was something with audio players or anything else. (Control Panel-> hardware and sound-> manage audio devices). It turns out that it wasn't.

    The problem started as my helmet is sound but cut wide in some places. I have to play with the headphone jack and move it a bit to get the sound. At that time, portable headphone plug was already loose. Then, for about 5-10 minutes, something really strange happened. His was no more. I couldn't not all the sounds if it was for my headphones or speakers of my laptop.

    After about 10 minutes, the sound is back after a reboot. However, the sound was weird and glitch. I mean, is that whenever I plug in the headphones, 55% of the sound would come through them, but the other 45% would come out of my laptop speakerks.
    Yet once again, I thought it was the helmet, but no. Even with multiple changes of helmet and try them on different computers, the headphones were great. I started thinking that it was the helmet being loose which caused all these problems. I started to look for solutions. I came across a post of aid for the same issue: being loose headphone jack.
    Most of them said that if the helmet was not directly related to the motherboard, that the issue would be fixed easly.

    My question is:
    (1) how will I know if the headset is connected to the motherboard directly?
    (2) how can I fix the problem if;
    (a) it is directly connected.

    (b) if it is not connected to it directly.
    (3) the headphone plug is loose have EVERYTHING link to my sound works does not correctly.

    Thank you and more information will be provided on request.

    Additional information: I know that HP laptop computers have a 1 year warranty, however, how do I check for mine?

    Hi kamel.

    1. with the hardware problems, it is best to contact support for your options before going inside the laptop.

    2. If you notice that you are not covered by your phones warranty, if you provide me with your laptop model number, I'll see if there is a maintenance and service guide. (another workaround of the guarantee is to get a USB headset connected)

    < How can I find my laptop model number >: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00033108

    3. Yes, he seems to have everything to do with the question.

    Hello

    Have you tried plugging a headset to the headset jack to see if it would work?

    This external sound card is not only known to me and I ve no experience with this device, but using the helmet you could check if this problem is related to the headphone jack or another part.

    On the other hand if you use Win XP then you can check the settings in device-> Realtek HD audio Manager manager.
    There is a tab called Audio i/o.

    Plug in headphones and see if they would be activated it.

    N ° however, headphones with microphone and the proper plug on the headphones provided with it, then you can use this microphone. You might associate your own plug, taking care to use tape appropriate to connect the microphone during the deactivation of one for the headphones. Don't forget the microphone you are using matches the impedance of the microphone of the device.

  • HP Pavilion 15 laptop: Headphone Jack works sometimes?

    My headphone works sometimes only. I'll get my wired headset and I can hear everything perfectly clear, but if I leave the laptop on overnight or leave for 30 minutes, I hear nothing more.

    I checked to make sure that the headphone jack is the audio device by default and the earphone works perfectly fine, so I don't see what the problem.

    The only way to solve the problem, as far as I understand, is to just restart the phone whenever the problem occurs, and it works. But I'd rather not have to restart every time this problem occurs. I also do not have to send the laptop.

    @polarpower,

    Hello and thanks for the display on the HP support forums.  There are only two things that can cause for your problem of making head phone.  When the system goes and warms the chips that handle the audio channel enter a blocking state as soon as this happens her loose.  As soon as you restart the voltage on the chips are erased and will work very well until things warm up again and the right signal is applied to this chip to block again.

    You can try to backup all your data and perform a recovery of the system so that tha system goes back to its original configuration.  It will be deleted including updates which could have caused this.

    Even though this is listed as Windows 8 you can use for Windows 10.

    Failure to resolve the issue, you will need to send in for repair.  Use the following link to help you contact the appropriate HP support department.

    Please let me know how things are going with this.  Thanks again for posting and have a great day.
