I sure hopes this works. My one pair of headphones that works is starting to give me some problems already!

Before I open it, are there any pictures of the inner-workings of my specific minidisc player? And a nice, clear set of instructions would also do just fine.

It didnt seem to help very much. I may have found a temporary alternative. There is one pair of headphones that I overlooked, and they must have a headphone jack pole that is a slightly greater diameter than that of my other ones. It might be due to the fact that they are pretty old headphones. However, I would like to solve this problem so I can use my other headphones. My friend had a similar problem with an older minidisc player that I gave him before, and he glued the headphones in the one spot where they had audio in both ear pieces. As of now, we are both pretty stumped with my problem. I suggested coating with a conductive substance before not because the headphone jack poles aren't conductive themselves, just to add to the diameter to take out what is most likely a small gap that is causing these problems. So I really don't know what to do at this point.

Well, it's kind of funny that you mentioned it may just be dirty, because I had quite a spill snowboarding the other day (dislocated my right arm) and my mididisc player flew away and landed in the snow, and had snow in the jack. I waited for it to melt and sucked it out, and it played just fine after that (five more hours that day and about 6 hours today) as I was coming home from work today I just noticed the problems. What should I use to go in there and clean it out? would a pipe cleaner work, or could the wire inside it be harmful to the player? Thanks for the help so far and thanks in advance.

How can I go about this without destroying my player?

I am well past warranty. My headphone jack will not work for my MZ-NH600D. By this I mean the audio only plays in one ear phone, on every pair that I own. This has happened with a previous minidisc player that I have owned. Is there any way to fix this? I thought about coating the end of the headphone plug with something conductive, but I am not sure. What I am sure of is that nothing is broken, just loose. When I put pressure on a cretain spot with the jack, I can hear audio on both ears. Any help or quick fix to this problem would be greatly appreciated.
