    MP3 player repair

    Hi all, does anyone know where you can get mp3 players fixed? My sister has a Creative Zen Micro and recently the place where you insert the headphones must have broken, as when you put them in the sound is very crackley and intermitent. The only way to make them work is to push them in quite hard and hold them, which of course isn't practical.

    It's out of warrenty so does anyone know anywhere that could fix it, i haven't a clue where to even ask. Oh and don't suggest she buy a new one, shes 17 at school with no job, she can't afford it Although maybe fixing it will be costly as well :/

    TIA
    Chris.

    This is a known issue with creative zen micro's, it maybe worth while contacting creative to see what they say, it happened to mine but mine was in warranty so i got it repalced straight away. i seem to remember seeing somewhere that creative were honouring a extended warranty for players with this issue (but dont quote me on that).
