Need some info/advice from some card carrying smart guys around here.

It looks like I am going to have to replace the earphone jack of my 80GB Ipod.

I have seen a ton of sellers carrying these parts. They range in prices from 11-75 dollars.
Some claim to be OEM and others don't say.

What I want to know is this. Is there really any difference in the replacement jacks?
In fact..since this one is dying after 2 years...is there a replacement that is BETTER than OEM?
Or should I just get the cheapest I can find and be done with it?

$75 is ridiculous for a headphone jack.

I would think you could get one more than acceptable enough for $15, just make sure it's for your iPod.

ive done this

not hard, just be patient and pay attention and be careful with the tiny parts

the kit i got with the replacement part had the tools to pop the case open as well

eh?
