My daughter gave me her old pocket dj and for some reason there seems to be a shortage in the plug for the headset..we called dell to see what they could do but they charged more to fix it then what it was costing when she bought it..is there anything that i can do myself to fix this problem or is there a curcuit city or best buy who are able to work on it for reasonable charge? i really would like to be able to use it without going broke..thanks

Re: dell pocket dj
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news But probably not. As I've said all along it's not worth repairing most of these port. mp3 players as they charge more for labor then there worth. This is one reason Im not in the repair buisiness any more!! The whole repair thing dropped out of the bottom come about 2002 to 2004 and most of the sets that came in they didnt even wanna spend 45.00 bench charge and that was applyed to the repair. Now some folks would say so lower your prices But with the price of rent ,heat, insurance and to pay your employees with health insurance you cant give nothing away \!! But this is why alot of things are not repaired and simply repalced. Good luck

Daisy Mae,
The Pocket DJ is not compatible with Windows 7 or Windows 10. If you plugged it into your computer and it did not recognize the device or show up in "My Computer' then it will not work. You would need a windows 7 and Windows 10 drivers.None are available..
Thank You,

Not compatible or not working well with windows 7?
(making a program work with windows 7)
Maybe, It doesn't work because the driver/application you installed is
for other versions of operating system. I am also using windows 7 like
you so don't you worry, You can still use your old installer/driver from
other versions of operating systems. Just remember that before
installing any program in a windows 7 Operating System Computer, Use
"troubleshoot compatibility". Right Click the Icon of your program
installer/application first, then choose "troubleshoot compatibility". This will
allow you to choose on what type operating system your program will run.
Just reply back if it still doesn't work.:D rate and vote for me:))
Go to dell.com and click on Drivers & Downloads, when entering your service tag number make sure to enter numbers only, ( mine has a B in the tag number I enterde it as an 8 and it worked)
When you enter your service tag number you will be able to downlaod the driver upgrade for your DJ make sire you dounload the SYSTEM FIRMWARE VERSION 2.20.07.A02.
Click on this link and it will take you directly there, keep in mind I am using my own tag number here http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&ServiceTag=8508861&SystemID=PDA_MP3_DJ&os=WW1&osl=en&catid=&impid=
GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN WITH OUR DELL POCKET DJ=)
If you know anyone with soldering capability the pads on the headphone jack just need to be re-soldered. Mine did the same thing so I re-flowed the solder joint and now it works perfect.
You can get one at batterytrader - click the link to go there - Dell Jukebox DJ battery for the Dell Digital jukebox DJ1st and 2nd, also the DJ20, - rechargeable replacement batteries
go to the dell website, download the driver for windows XP, before installing the driver right click on the install icon, go to properties, securities and select "Run as Administrator". Now install the driver. This should allow you to run your driver and software. I have the 30 gig and it worked for me. good luck and I hope this helps.
