I have a Sorell SV-15 (Korean) and have apparently dropped the thing after a few too many drinks, I have opened it up and the headphone jack has been damaged, i have taken it to various electronics repair shops and they can't fix it nor do they know where to get a replacement jack from, anyone any ideas?
Do you know how to solder? If you do and I run into this problem with headphone jacks or even those smaller power plugs I go into Radio Shack, as they have many many differant sizes of jacks and plugs. The one I go into even has a a small ring with all the differant Millimeter sizes on it. Good Luck
Thanks Larry, alas i live in England and we don't have Radioshack here, i went to a place that sounds a similar kind of place, they looked through their whole catalogue but couldn't find anything of a similar shape. I guess i'm gonna have to look for a new one, an MP3 player without headphones is pretty pointless. There is however a "line-out" socket that i use to plug it into my AUX socket on my hi-fi, does anyone know if i can get headphones that will use this socket?
You could use wireless headphones as they are powered by a small amp.Also i found this out about Sorell. Sorell, Inc. (" Sorell" or "the Company") is in the ... off of the DVS production department from Samsung Electronics ...?? Hmmmm Maybe check with a samsung parts house.? .
How would wireless headphones comunicate with the player, surely i'd have to plug something into it, i'll contact samsung though, thanks again!
