Good luck with your gem. No idea on how to fix the headphone jack, supposedly you can still take them into the apple store though and they can fix them.

This post is super old – hope you can still respond. I cannot see any pictures in this post, can you add them back please? Also do you have any ideas on replacing 1G ipod headphone jack. Its fused into the motherboard.

Thanks
Nick

If that doesn’t work, step 2 would be plugging in your iPod and doing a “restore to factory default” from within iTunes. If THAT doesn’t work, step 3 would be a visit to your local apple genius bar. And if they can’t help, then the happy step 4 is to buy a new iPod…

Did the color fade? :-)
