IPod Headset Trouble
2010 | My Simple World - Entertainment, Gadget, Music, My Life, Science & Technology, Thoughts|Ramblings -23 Feb
One of my favorite things to do in my life is to do technical jobs. I can do tough jobs in electronics, mechanical and especially electrical. I consider myself a techie because I am always inclined to the technical world. Today I found that the other side of my IPod headsets wasn’t functioning. It bothered me so much because I don’t find it good to hear only one side was sounding. So, what I did was I tried to locate where was the problem occurs. I checked the female jacks on the player by testing it with a different earphone then both side of the earphone sounds. So now, I knew that it was on the earphone of the player. Anyways the MP3 player that I talk about is the 3rd generation shuffle wherein the controls are attached directly to the stem of the earphone. I know that I will be a very terrible repair job for me because I don’t have any diagrams for the gadget. The problem occurred at the control button. It is a tiny small OPanel intended for the user there you can locate the main mechanism of the player function buttons. There I saw tiny strands of insulated wires. It can be critical to open that button because in the first place I wasn’t sure of what’s inside that tiny box. In the end I was able to open it and I saw that the wires were cut and there seems to be a disconnection of lines. I want to try repairing this before I decide to buy a new one. At least I can save my money if ever I’ll be successful with this. The best thing is that I can widen my experience about these stuffs. Stay tuned for more post about this IPod problem of mine.
