Hi all,
A short while ago I bought an iPod Video 5.5 80GB, but unfortunately the jack connector already broke (music is playing through 1 ear). I've got a spare iPod classic 160gb 7th gen. Would it be possible to replace the iPod video's jack/hold switch with the one from the Classic?
Thanks!

@jeltev Yes they are interchangeable. The headphone jack/hold switch, hard drive cable, and hard drive (from the 5th gen to 6th gen but not vice versa)are compatible. Everything else is not.

Thanks for your reply, that's good news! Not the best time for me to spend money on parts... Will give the repair a try today
Did the replacement today, and it works like a charm! However, I found that placing the iPod Video jack/hold on the iPod Classic is not that easy as vice versa. Tried to fit it for a few mins, but it seems to be a bit too large for the Classic. Needs some puzzling and patience to make it work, I guess.

Looks like it's a different part for the two iPods, but I think you can buy one from these guys.

If haven't already figured it out yet, you have a 5.5 80gb that is a thick case model trying to replace a hold/jack ribbon from a 7th gen thats thin case model, thats why it doesn't fit right , maybe try using the back case of the 7th
