Does anyone repair Sansas?
« on: November 24, 2017, 07:23:57 PM »
I have several of the C200, E200 and Clip+ lines that have failed over the years, yet I hold onto them. The most common problem is the headphone glitch where one channel dies out. I am not capable of doing hardware electronics repairs. Is there a third-party repair shop that will do these repairs?

I highly doubt anyone specializes in doing that. I'd suggest giving your device to someone knowledgeable and pointing them to http://rockbox.org/wiki/SansaRepair.

I don't know of any repair services, but a decent soldering iron can be had for $20 on Amazon, and with a YouTube video on soldering technique, you should be able to reset the three solder points that hold the headphone jack in place. They tend to pop after a while.

Otherwise, if you have a friend with a soldering iron, you may be able to bribe them with beer.

If these rings I run were lines, just imagine how much farther I would be.
