Woke up this morning and started on my walk to the office and all of a sudden the headphone jack back to not work. It has to be jiggled around, just seems like a weak connection. Battery is fulled charged.
i bought a SG right after the price drop. after i'd had it for 1 day i sent a rather praising letter to Good, but added this to my letter:
"what suprises me about this superiour product is that you've included a standard jack on the headphones instead of an L-connector jack. i would highly recommend an L-connector jack for future SG releases. as anyone who's spent a significant amount of time with walkmans will know, the standard jack has a few problems, the main one being that when pressure is applied to any side of the jack, the contact inside will eventually short out, making sound only come out one side and force the user to wiggle the jack to get proper sound."
so, i'd guess that you're jack has shorted. i don't know how you carry your visor while listening to the SG, but if it's in a pocket or a bag or anything like that, the jack will eventually short (or already has). therefore, it is recommended that you get a new set of headphones (with L-connector) or always carry your visor in your hand (what i do). of course, since you're already having this problem, i would say that Good or PG will have to replace it.
before you do this, however, try a different set of headphones and see if perhaps something happened to them (do you "roll" your headphones up when done with them? if so, bad idea for the same reason (shorting out)).
good luck,
mc
