Audio comes from 1 earphone only, temporarily fixes with pressure.

Audio only comes from the right earphone or speaker from the iPod’s audio jack. Sometimes this issue isn’t there for a short period, then it goes back to only coming through one side again.

Unusually, when pressure is applied to the top right area of the clickwheel, underneath the screen on the iPod’s body, the audio comes back into both for as long as pressure is applied.

I suspect this is an issue with the headphone jack ribbon cable, however I am unsure as pressing down on the front plate near the logic board maniuplates this issue.

EXTRA INFO:

The iPod has been modded with iflash quad SD storage, so it has been taken apart.
