Install and repair
Step-by-step guide
iPod Video 5th Gen headphone jack and Hold switch replacement
Tools: Plastic opening tools (two or three), Thin plastic picks, Angled tweezers or a small plastic tool, Plastic spudger, Phillips #00 screwdriver, Small dish for screws, Anti-static wrist strap or mat, Soft cloth, Headphones and a speaker dock or line-out cable
- Open the caseUnplug any cable, then switch the iPod off and slide Hold to locked. Free the clips with plastic tools: both long sides, then the top (shallow beside the Hold switch, where the screen sits close), then the bottom. Raise the back only about an inch: two ribbons still join the halves. Our guide to opening the iPod Video covers this in detail.
- Unplug the batteryFind the battery's orange ribbon where it plugs into the logic board toward the bottom end. Raise its small brown latch straight up by 1 to 2 mm, evenly at both ends, and slide the ribbon out.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
I replaced the headphone jack and still have no sound. Should I buy another one?
Not until you have tested both outputs. If both headphone and dock audio are silent, that is the clear sign of the audio IC chip on the logic board (in some cases pressing the lower-right corner brings the sound back for a moment, from the chip's cracked solder joints); we fix it by replacing the logic board, not another jack.
Does the Hold switch come with this part?
Yes. This is the combined headphone jack and Hold switch flex assembly. Match thin versus thick case depth before ordering because the assemblies do not interchange.
Is this for an A1238 iPod Classic?
This listing is for iPod Video A1136 5G / 5.5G Enhanced models. Order the thick headphone-jack and Hold assembly listed for your own Video build. The later 6th/7th Gen iPod Classic is a different family with its own pages: a 6th/7th Gen jack fitted to an iPod Video of the same depth handles sound and Hold but loses TV out through the headphone jack, so order this Video assembly; one owner also reports a thick Video assembly working in a thick Classic, a single account rather than a promise.
How does dock line-out help diagnose headphone audio?
Use dock line-out as a comparison test. Dock output working with failed headphone output points toward the headphone/hold ribbon or jack contacts. Headphones and dock both silent points away from the jack and toward the logic board.
Could the headphone/hold ribbon be causing this symptom?
Yes. If audio or Hold behavior changed after the iPod was opened, inspect and reseat the headphone/hold ribbon and its board latch before ordering a second part.
Which thin or thick headphone/hold assembly fits this iPod?
Match the assembly to capacity and case thickness before using audio or Hold symptoms to choose a part. This part is the right choice for thick 60 GB / 80 GB fitment. Check variant fit before replacing another audio or input part.
