So my son jumped up from the computer with his headphones plugged in and broke the thing off in the port.

Take it to best buy

Superglue a toothpick to the remaining portion in the port. After dries...pull it.

Oh really? I didn't know that.

I will look into that for sure.

I cant get it out.

Watched a you tube video using super glue and a straw but I dont want to gunk up the port with glue.

I was looking for a set of micro tools.

most of those female connectors have a poop shute on the backside.take a paper clip and push it out.

Toothpick and super glue. It's tedious but it works.

Yes, that's the video I saw.

Have you done this?

I didn't want to gunk up the port.

broke the thing off in the port?

Hmmm..not this one.

I tried my smallest set of needle nose and even a Bobby pin but couldn5 grab it.

I bought some super glue.

May try that in a bit.

Yes, the headphone Jack broke off in the port.

you could try been really careful here but stick something to whats left in the socket with superglue and it may be enough to pull it back out.

Be careful like only use enough to stick it on.

vaccum cleaner ? or a screw driver with a magnet on it

Check the hardware settings and disable the headset port.

Sound should still work for speakers, and you can worry about finding micro pliers another day.

how about fvck twi**er!

censor me... i fuck you

;)

I didn't watch any video's. Yes...I've done it. But if you're sloppy with glue and don't have a steady hand...just take it to Best Buy.

I would try this before I went for glue

Take a BIC pen ink tube, insert the tube to the headphone jack and plug the broken tip to the tube and just pull it out, it worked just fine for me, hope you can find this useful.

replace the jack connector.

Yes, I may do that.

I have a steady hand, I just dont want to fuck it up.

Lol.

Oh cool, thanks.

May try it.

Good advice all around, thanks homies.

This is brilliant, thank you!

I'm kicking myself for not thinking of this.

If it’s an audio card, switch to motherboard audio, or vice versa.

If you broke the port off the board, regardless, it is practically unfixable. I’ve wasted a lot of time trying...

Buy the same board on Amazon and swap the broken one as a return.

EDIT: Looks like it’s just the headphone piece stuck. You got this!

Yes it's just the headphone piece stuck in there.

I'm going to work on it right now with the straw method.

Wish me luck!

nice chip!

Get a life dude. Your next thread is going to be "I broke my nail, what should I do". Turn your gaming computer off and go outside.

You can try using superglue on the end of a blunted toothpick. Take care to only use the tiniest dab. Let it set and then pull out the jack end.

Your next post is going to be “stop posting anonymously on the internet and go outside.”

Thrash the little bastard with a usb cable .

ALL females have a poop chute on the backside. No exceptions bro.

Best advice here...like their use of words.

But yeah back of that port in the pc, you could push it out.
Remove the power cable and touch something metal first.
