Hi guys,
I recently repaired my girlfriends iPod 3rd Gen. I bought a cheap headphone socket like this from eBay:
BRAND NEW HEADPHONE AUDIO JACK FLEX CABLE FOR IPOD TOUCH 2 & 3 GEN #A-004 | eBay
I assumed that being an aftermarket part it would work okay. It was cheaply made, but so long as it was soldered okay it would be fine right? Wrong.
I soldered it and there were issues with interference. Turning the plug in the socket seemed to cause noise and issues and sometimes the volume in one ear would go down. I complained to the seller and was sent a new one for free. This one was already damaged on arrival with part of the ribbon cable being lifted off the pad. They sent a third one which suffered from exactly the same problem as the first.
Now I did consider it a possibility that perhaps my soldering skills were letting me down, so I obtained an OEM part. Luckily there was a shop gone into liquidation and were selling genuine parts and I got one for cheap, but normally these parts go for about £5 on the internet.
Soldered it in last night, works perfectly.
