F10 headphone jack issues

<< < (3/4) > >>

thyme:
well so far, my warranty expired and I can't seem to find anyone around here to solder it/ fix it. Is there any kind of quick fix I could preform? because now I have to  hold it like apply pressure to it for it to work, like if I let go of the headphone jack I will no longer be able to hear the music.

Mad Cow:
Well then open it up, see what's wrong. It's most likely a bad solder joint.

thyme:
I opened it up and it looks like a bad solder joint...but seeing as how there is no way to fix it..well there probably is, but I can't fix it...I'm thinking about selling. I was wondering...if I were to sell my gigabeat as used f10 mp3 player with semi-functioning headphone jack sold as is, how much could I get for it? Considering that it has wear and a few light scratches on the screen and such.

Soader03:
How old is it? Another price for the battery use...

thyme:
I've had it since Dec./January, and I bought it online used from amazon for $105...it was like brand new almost. I have all the accessories, but like I said, it does have some wear and there is some dust under the screen, but you can't really tell when the backlight is on. And there's the semi - functioning headphone jack...it works, but you have to press it down with your finger to hear sound, and even then it might come through one ear on your headphones.
