One of my friends asked me to have a look at her Ipod Nano since only one of the earphones was working.
Trying different sets of earphones made no difference, so the problem was clearly in the Ipod.

I removed the bottom white cover from the Ipod by prising it out using my finger nail, of all things.
I removed the small screw that holds the white ear phone socket in place and then pulled the socket forward.
After a little examination I noticed a small crack in the ribbon cable. I scraped back the insulation then soldered the break. The earphone was working again. I now just had to re-assemble the Ipod.
