It started when my Bluetooth transmitter lost sound on my right ear and my iems getting white noise, I cleaned it with alcohol q-tip and worked til it came back within a week but has gotten worse and for some reason I found out when I press my iPod classic on certain parts I lose sound coming from my left ear, is there a reason why that’s happening? Been thinking of replacing my headphone jack but I don’t wanna damage my shell

I wonder if it could be a kinked cable or a wonky connection?

#

Because here is exactly where the headphone jack connector is

#

What's inside the iPod by any chance? i.e. drive and/or battery

Not really since I couldn’t find what to put in between, that was a year ago

Shit sorry for not replying, I kinda uh forgot

#

What I was gonna say was uhhhhh

#

I do wonder if that's possibly the culprit

#

Something pinching against the hold switch ribbon

#

But then again that also means you have to crack the thing open

Looked inside and your right the ribbon is pretty folded, got it replaced and made sure it goes smoothly inside
