iphone thinks headphones are plugged in
I have a first gen iphone that has the headphone settings reversed. When there are no headphones plugged in, no sound comes out of the speaker at all. The volume indicator says "Ringer (headphones)" when there is no headphone plugged in. When there IS a set of headphones plugged in, it says "ringer" and all sounds come through the speaker. I keep a jack that I cut off of a nonworking microphone plugged in so I can use the phone, but this means that the ipod portion of my iphone is unusable.
I've done a great deal of searching on this issue and found it to be very common. All of the usual remedies have not worked. I have tried the following:
plugging and unplugging (over 100 times in rapid succession)
cleaning the jack with a modified q-tip and alcohol
allowing the phone to lock while playing, removing the headphones, unlocking, and resuming play
soft reset
hard reset
factory restore
I purchased this phone used on ebay as is, no warranty. I called apple and learned the phone is three weeks out of warranty. I'm a very adept DIYer, so I don't mind opening this thing up to replace a part or two since it's already out of warranty.
Any suggestions?
