    ok, iv had my sansa E250 for about a good 4-5 months, and its been working fine... but all of a sudden now when i put in my earphones, my left earphone doesnt work. so i thought maybe it were my earphones... but iv actually tried 3 or 4 different/new earphones and they all have the same problem (the left earphone doesnt have any audio). so i am thinking it is the audio earphone's slot.

    iv also noticed that if you pull out the earphone plug, the sound comes back to both earphones for a little while, but you have to keep it very still in the slot and this i cannot do, does anyone know how to fix this problem? i think this has happened to one of my previous mp3 players

    I'd try using search over at anything but ipod site as I found a few different options to fix that 1 ear working problem
    in this thread theres a few that fixed the prob with a piece of cardboard and /or tape etc just read thru it

    Glad I could help bud
    Take a look at that site from time to time as maybe there will be a more
    permanent fix for that problem, its a known issue not alot of people have that problem but its not exactley a rare occurence either
    Good Luck
