Please please please lemme know if u know whats wrong or how 2 fix it. Thanks bunches!! Email me if u no or i guess post it? i dont no how to use this site i just had this one question!! thanks!!
Paris,
It sounds like the headphone terminal on your MP3 player is shorted or is intermittent. If this is the case, the only way of fixing it is by opening the unit and resoldering or replacing the terminal. Considering that many MP3 players are super tiny and hard to repair, you may need to contact the manufacturer for repair or replacement.
Good luck!
