Dropped the iriver. Headphone socket & power socket not working
I dropped my iriver H340 & it now has two problems:
1. The headphone socket is very dodgy; It will only play through the right earphone unless I hold it in a certain way, which I obviously cannot do the whole time.
2. The unit will not recharge through the normal powering up socket, although I can charge it through USB.
I'm not sure whether it is possible to repair (or worth doing), or whether I'm just going to have to buy a new MP3 player.
Many thanks for your help.
Richard.
The middle pin on my power input socket broke off. How hard is it to replace the socket? I can still charge with usb, but also need to be able to use a car charger.The middle pin on my power input socket broke off. How hard is it to replace the socket?

Power output on a headphone socket is not great - depends on the headphone and speaker resistance - have you tried a cheap pair of in ear headphones to see if it is the headphone socket.
Headphone socket does sometimes break like the power socket its one of the most common problems on a laptop.
If so its not difficult to find a new headphone socket or even re-solder the old one - it may be a dry joint!
Are you getting sound through the laptop speakers for a start.
The headphone socket should interrupt the main speakers automatically so there is no setting in sounds and devices in windows that would cause your problem.
the headphone socket acts as a switch for main audio and headphone line. either u have a defective socket or the power amp is defective. headphone line is driven by a preamp, which is working - if power amp is defective- headphone works but power amp fails. try changing the headphone socket first.
this problem is the same with me! i dropped my iPod, but it cracked the screen and i'm pretty sure i haven't dropped it on the jack because im very careful with it!!!
Sounds like the battery is dead. Rechargeables only last so long. I'd copy all the content off it, before the battery dies totally, which could make it not work even connected to your computer. Looks like you can get a replacement battery: Iriver h340 Google Search
And here's a video on replacing the battery: How to Replace the iRiver H340 Battery
Hi, I had the same problem with my H340. I bought a battery for $16 on eBay and swapped them out. The unit would say "Charging" but would never "Complete". When disconnected from the AC, it would not power up at all. I opened it up again and noticed that the old battery connections had the red wire on the left, the battery had the red wire on the right. I took the black and red wires out of the quick-connect jack and swapped them so that the red wire would no go into the player on the left. Works like a charm now.
Have you tried using different headphones? If they work, then the headphones you currently have may have some faulty wiring. If different headphones do not work, then there may be something wrong with the headphone port on the iriver. If there is a problem with the headphones, the best solution would just be to buy new ones. It is much less of a hassle and much less costly. If there is a problem with the iriver's port, it would be best to take it to an electronics store and have them find out exactly what is wrong.
I am not an expert, but the same thing happened with me and that's because the bit connecting the motherboard to the hardrive has been damaged, so may be the same for you....

Call Sandisk and tell them about your problem. I had the same exact problem. The headphone jack inside is loose. Talk to Sandisk and don't worry about the box, the customer is always right. But after they send you a new sansa e250, sell it on ebay and buy a durable mp3 player like the iriver t10 series. My old iriver dropped on the floor plenty of times and it's still working after 3 years.
