This maybe should be in the DIY section, but as it reagards iPod's, which I assume many people posting in this section have, it can go here.
Basically, a couple of months ago, my iPod stopped outputting sound in one headphone. I diagnosed this as a faulty headphone jack, and was quoted £40 online to replace it.
The thing is, I found a simple guide on how to do it yourself, and the part itself can be had on ebay for not much more than £10.
Has anyone done this themselves, and is it an easy job? I'm quite good with things electrically, and have taken my iPod apart to assess the difficulty, which doesn't look too bad. I'm just wondering if anyone has done it themselves found it difficult, or if there are any tips etc.
