Water on a Q-tip to clean an electrical contact... ever heard the words "contact oxydation"?!?Two reasons why you should NEVER use water (in any quantity) inside an electrical working object (includes any type of jacks):1. Water (even one single tiny drop) leads electricity, and therefor will make shortcircuits.2. The contacts (unless being gold plated or made of gold) will oxydate, and therefor not making contact anymore.@gamer: If you have no sense of humor, you're definitely on the wrong forum...BTW, m1k's suggestion of loose contacts is the most plausible one, because this has always been an issue on portable players, and has been reported of iPods too. It's due to the mechanical stress by plugging in and out the headphones.</blockquote>
