    Hi all,
    I have an iPod Video, 5.5G (30Gb).

    Headphone jack has decided that I only deserve left-channel audio, so I need to know a reputable repair shop, and/or if it's easy enough to do myself.

    Thanks!

    Sometimes you can carefully wedge a small piece of paper/rubber etc. down the headphone jack to relieve this problem. I remember doing that on my old walkman.

    You can buy a replacement headphone jack and screwdriver on ebay for 6 or 7 euro.

    Video tutorials and other guides all over google if you need them. I would guess that it is easy to do if you are patient and follow the steps.
