I have a 512mb mp3 player, it has been working fine for the past year or so, yesterday i was listening to it but when i went near a t.v that was switched, all of a sudden the headphones kind of popped in my ears and it switched off. i thought it was the headphones that were bust but when i tried using different one's, the sound was the same, all i could hear was a bit of background music, no vocals, no nothing. Ive opened up the mp3 player. Can anyone tell my how to fix it, maybe it's to do with the circuit board, i dont know.

What brand/model of mp3 player is it?

OK, so you can still turn the MP3 player on and read the screen etc, but you can barely hear the sound?

Look at the circuitry near the headphone jack. Maybe a capacitor blew.

yes, everything else works fine, just the vocals i cnt hear. ive had a look at the circuit board and i tried something, i put a solder underneath the headphone jack on the circuit board and that seemed to solve things, but only lasted a day, i tried it again but no luck this time.

I just posted another thread same as this. Ignore that

Moham, I deleted your other thread. With this one going here, it seemed like a mistake. Let me know if there's a good reason for the separate thread, but it seems like there isn't.
