essines Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 and its not the head phones. The sound will come through if i press down on the headphone plug at the jack, but otherwise i can't hear a thing. it still works fine besides that though. anybody know whats up?

Christopher Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 I've heard that this is quite common with some N707's. If you have to put pressure for it to work that should give you a good indication that something's up. I would suggest Sony's repair facility if it's still under warranty.

essines Posted November 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 nah no warranty, but i read another post in which it says i should just replace the headphone jack cause they wear out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 That's not exactly the easiest of processes, do you have the ability and the part to do so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essines Posted November 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 not the part, but ability, perhaps. i could always take it to a repair shop though, i just dont want to. I'm looking for a quickfix, if there is such a thing/. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 my 707 has the exact same problem and i can only hear out of the headphones if i press down on the jack. my warranty is also expired... anyone know how to fix this problem? another quick question. when did stores stop selling brand new N707's? (ie. when did they become discontinued?) thanks a lot. -mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerkY Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 I wonder what will happen to my N910 in a couple of years time... heh... Well maybe you could try fixing the headphones in the jack by shoving in the jack with a very small piece of paper or maybe an aluminium foil (put the paper/foil where it doesnt touch the connections between the jack and the headphone connection. However, you will have to be very careful as not to let the paper/foil get to deep in the jack. It will just fix the headphone in the jack so it doesnt move out of its place and thus cut the sound. but the again if the problem is not related to the headphone jack not insulating the headphone properly then i dont know how it can be solved "quickly"... you might actually need to get the part replaced. Btw I take no responsibility if anything happens to your N707. Just suggesting a solution before getting the part replaced. cheers BerkY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParadoX Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 The best (being the easiest) fix I found was to cut out an "ear plug" (to reduce noise from the outside. Avail in the drugstores and not to be confused with some earphones ) to put inside your unit. With a bit of trial and errors, you'll find the best place to put it then you close your unit. That's it, it should work for at least a while Beware, I don't know if it is what caused a problem with my unit. I hope this fix doesn't come too late Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
