I have an iPod Nano 16GB I bought a year ago used. I was told the headphone jack was screwy, which is why I got it so cheap. It's a 4th generation Nano.
I cleaned the jack out with rubbing alcohol and I thought it helped at first, but not so much.
The headphones when plugged in are not flush with the body of the Nano. The jack sticks out a very tiny bit, but it won't fall out or anything. It doesn't look like anything is inside the jack.
The problem with the jack is that sound will only come out of 1 ear. Also parts of the song cannot be heard. For example a heavy metal song you cannot hear the guitar solo or the vocals.
However, if I push and twist the headphone plug into the jack I can get sound from both ears. A little bump though and its back to 1 ear and messed up music.
Anyway I can fix this?
It's a shame because this is really the only Apple Product I like. This Nano is the best they have ever made in my opinion. Thin, small, nice color screen, album art, no touch, no useless features, etc.
