I found it an apartment people had vacated a few days ago. (I do apartment cleaning.clearing for work somethime) Anyway the thing works find and I have the cords for it.

I have never been an Ipod owner and have heard that servicing them is a bitch.

The only issue in the one I found is there seems to be no right channel output from the headphone jack. From putting various jacks into it I found (oddly bent ones, etc) I can get sound out if it if I approach it from a odd angle. Not idea for hearing left and right on the go.

If I try to get it repaired am I going to get some kind of sting because the serial number doesn't match me?

How about those shop you see all over that offer to unlock phones, do you think they could do an MP# player repair. This is all new me me. But a free 30BG iPod makes me happy if it works.

My the was it was absolutely empty when I founded. The only personal info was it was registered to "My".

Thanks form any advice and just realize I want the cheapest rout to fix this jack. Otherwise it becomes an external hard drive.

EDIT: before anyone gives me this suggestion they were tested on a number of items included line into computer,

Bear with me, I have never used a cell phone before.

as long as you don't take it to apple no one will give a shit where it came from. What model is it? Check here: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/

You may be able to fix it yourself if you have any tech / soldering skills. It sounds like the pins in the audio jack are just over expanded and opening it and bending them back in to proper position should do it.
This site has some info for do it yourselfers: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPod/


Or if you would rather have someone local fix it you want to try this place: http://www.irepair.ca/
I've never used them so it is not an endorsement.
Good luck, free shit is always good

It's one of these fifth generation ipod.

I found a quick affordable fix for the head phone left sound promlem problem:
click.

Can't beat that price. It's still basically free

Well, I wiped it and filled it with videos of baby G before I got along to trying to figure out who it might belong to.

Thanks. I'll look into it more when I get stereo out of it. Will take a swing through china town and see what the deal are.

I would rather pay a few bucks for a widget than 50 bucks for a full repair. Remember I don't know the history of this thing.

Plus 50 bucks means a new computer game and I can already hear all the stereo I want on my Creative player.

In what way is it hackable? I thought it just played music and videos of Gia Jordan's ass?
