Hudl headphone jack replacement

gheldor

I think that the headphone jack on my daughter's Hudl is worn and am trying to find a replacement. I cannot find one through Google or eBay, anyone have any ideas (I have done this before on my iPod; I am not keen on paying anywhere from £30-60 for someone else to do it)?

Have you called Tesco? Even if it is over a year old they may still repair it for free - certainly if it is less than 2 years old it isn't unreasonable to expect a free repair. I had a 15 month one with that fault fixed free. Luckily they give an additional 90 day warranty with the repair because a couple of months on the charger socket went too and they also fixed that free.

Probably can be found on google but first time around I asked customer service in the store about it and they gave me a form. May have been a phone number on it or I may have posted it. certainly I just phoned about the second repair.

They send a courier (DPD on both occasions for me ) who pick it up unpacked. It gets courier returned in less that a week.

I called Tesco and the lady quoted me either £59 or £69 (I couldn't quite make out what she said) to repair it! Ridiculously expensive.

Bluetooth headphones would be cheaper.

But for the bluetooth headphones would I not still need a unit to insert into the headphone jack?

No, the Hudl has built-in Bluetooth, so they would connect wirelessly.

Have you checked that there is nothing in the jack socket and tried giving it a clean ?

Bluetooth headphones bypassed the problem. Thanks for the help!
