This may be a long shot but are you sure you have pushed the plug in as
far as it can go? When I first got my N900 I thought the earphones
weren't working. But I didn't have the plug in all the way. Good luck.

Hi Rick,

I pushed the plug as far as it can go, and still is without recognized. :(

The Healtcheck app shows that the headphone is always disconnected, what can
I do?

Thanks,

Hector

Hi!

I've had the same problem with one pair of headphones (though not the
ones supplied with the N900). I found some notices on the web about this
being an issue with the latest version of Maemo (PR 1.3), however, I'm
not sure about the status of it. I am still trying to figure it out,
just as you. I'll post whatever I find about it, when I have time to
continue looking.

Best,


Magnus

Hi to all!

I talk with a guy that has a N900 too and he doesn't have these problems,
and his maemo version is the same as mine. So, could be any solution to my
problem?

thanks,

Hector

Hi there,

My bet is that this is a hardware problem. They aren't common with the
N900, but the audio/tv port is a mechanical part after all, and as
such there is a small chance that it is faulty. And your case, it
never worked, neither with (any) headphone, nor with the TV cable.
I would try to get a replacement unit.

Sorry -- this is probably not what you wanted to hear.

I would actually try taking it to a service center. The jack in question actually "sits" on pads on the board. It could be there's something on the pads, or that the jack is faulty. Either way, this particular part is easily repairable in most shops, not requiring a replacement.
