My iRiver T-10 has worked fine from last year Dec until now. when i lock in securely the earphone pin into the earphone jack i only hear one channel. if i put it in half way i hear both channels but then the pin will at tiimes fall out when i am walking. how do i fix it?
Try another headset to be sure its a problem of the player and not broken headphones. if its the player i hope its still under warranty, else you need to open it whats wrong. hot air soldering machine is an advantage..

there can be 3 things wrong with the connector inside the mp3 player.
1. the conector itself is broken
2. the conectors contact to the main board is loose but the small metalic contact on mainboard itself is still intact.
3. the connectors contact to the conectors contact to the main board is loose because the small metalic contact was ripped out of the main board (worst case)
solution:
1. replace the conector with a hot air soldering machine. using a classic soldering machine could damage the mainboard.
2. just resolder the contact
3. i did not find a posibility to fix the 0,5mm contact square on mainboard, but it was possible to me to find a workaround, by connecting a cable to the loose connector foot to an other working contact on the mainboard. during this i did start the open player and listened to music while pressing the other and of the cable to random contacts on the board.
the said news is, once 1 of the 3 connectors contacts are loose its more likely that the same will happen to them.
bonus solution for all 3 problems: take some rubber or matches piece place it above the connector and close the whole thing so that it pushes on the connector :)
