Not sure this will work but you know some of those cans of compressed air, the ones you use for dusting keyboards and such, come with the tiny little straw. Like the straw that comes with a can of WD-40.
Anyway, you might be able to use that straw and the compressed air to get in and blow out the dust or whatever has accumulated in the jack. What I don't know though is whether the headphone jack is sealed off from the interior of your iPod. If it isn't, you might be blowing dust into your iPod which is probably a bad thing. --- Rex. -----Original Message----- From: owner-macgroup at erdos.math.louisville.edu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Henri Yandell Sent: Monday, February 23, 2004 9:34 AM To: macgroup at erdos.math.louisville.edu Subject: MacGroup: iPod headphone socket dirty Not really a Mac question, but y'all get it anyway. My iPod's headphone connection crackles a fair bit [on multiple headphones] and I'm figuring it's gotten filled with dust/grit. Anyone got ideas for cleaning it?
