Author Topic: A piece of broken headphone jack is lodged in my computer.  (Read 2058 times)


(Green port, right of red port)

I don't want to remove it right now because I'm worried that the port will be even more forgeted up
How do I remove it without damaging my computer?


Can you edit the pic and draw a circle of the port where the jack is stuck in?
Also I recommend using scissors and trying to cut it off (I know it's dumb, but all I got).

Or you can just look with your eyes if you have any common knowledge of the ports on the back of a generic computer tower.

Yes, that's very dumb
Plus the jack isn't in reach of scissors

Use thin tweezers.
The tweezers I have are too big and they just keep pushing it further in

You won't break it your computer or short it out of you're only touching the port. There isn't anything to short out there. Worst case scenario you break your port that's already useless like this.

Use a magnet? I mean it shouldn't be powerful enough to mess anything up.

go in baby. push that sucker out.

The worst case scenario is now a reality, there's no way it's coming out of there and we've scraped the living forget out of it

This happened to me once. Looked it up online and the easiest way to fix it I could find was to find something kind of small like a pen- maybe smaller, and put some glue on the end. Then stick it to whatever's stuck inside, wait for it to dry some so it will stick, and pull it out
