I'll try a different cable but the reason I didn't put that as my first suspect was that it's not the end that is constantly getting connected/disconnected (the one to my ipod) but the one that plus into the TCH itself. If it's something as simple as that I would be very happy but I'm thinking it might be something on the port itself as lately I literally have to jiggle it a little, it doesn't feel as snug as it used to.
