Default Fixing a walkman/mp3 player
the jack on my walkman has started going crackley which is rather annoying, i asked in john lewis (where i got it) and they mentioned somewhere that may be able to fix it (i dont think it shoudl be a hard job, just i dont want to go opening it up myself), but i completely forgot the name, any ideas what it could have been?

sony NW HD1

ipodish

basically the headphones jack is either dirty or have come a bit loose on the pcb, if i move the headphones jack about (ie move the player) i get a crackley sound and it the sound can fade in/out a little

i will try cleaning it if i can get my hands on any suitable cleaner, but i dont want to go opening the player up - my soldering skills are fine building a pedal or something, but i dont trust myself not to fry something like a walkman trying to resolder it...

Soldering an MP3 Player is not the easiest of tasks... Even a little solder on the wrong place can mess it up (tried it once myself..)

Yeh personally i would find cleaner and clean the Jack as best you can other than that send it to sony etc etc.

Cheers

the guy in john lewis mentioned a local place that may be able to help fix it, just it has completely slipped my mind, any ideas?
