    Hey there,
    I bought a 2nd hand iphone and the headphone jack is faulty. I have checked the serial number on the apple website and it says it still has limited warranty. But since the phone is 2nd hand is there anything I should be aware of before contacting Apple for a repair service, since I wasn't the original owner??

    The phone was jailbroken, but I restored/reset the phone after getting it anyway because the jailbreak was making the battery run out in a few hours.

    Thanks

    I don't think so that should be a problem as they don't ask for receipt and you are owner now anyway.

    Check that there is not a build up of lint or fluff in the headphone jack, a toothpick will clear anything if there is. Mine has become blocked before and I thought it was faulty, was just a bit of tissue at the bottom of the jack.

    It can get pretty clogged up .

    Tried this but no joy unfortunately. Looks like the jack itself is malfunctioning.

    Would this be something apple will cover in the "Limited Warranty"?
