Busted Zaurus!
« on: May 09, 2006, 12:18:15 am »
Hey guys,

After a little over 6 months of ownership, my heavily used SL-C3000 has developed a problem.  The audio doesn't switch over to headphones when you plug them into the socket.  I've tried pretty much everything you'd suggest, it definitely seems to be a hardware issue.

Any suggestions?  I think I'm going to have to crack it open or send it back, both of which I'd really rather not do.

Thanks,
Mark

Nah, I am running cacko.  And I don't think it's anything software related.  The switch used to be automatic.  I do hear crackling in the headphones as I plug them in or unplug them, but nonetheless it refuses to switch over, even after hard reboot.  Kind of weird considering I don't even use the headphone port that much compared to some people.

Have you tried some different headphones, just in case this is the problem.

Like I said guys, I've tried pretty much everything that is basic or easy.  Several different pairs of headphones, and microphones still work so the jack itself is working in some fashion.  When I plug in the remote control it no longer works.  Clearly something hardware related is gone.

Thanks,
Mark
