How can I remove a broken headphone jack plug tip from a car stereo audio port?
Hey,
Sorry if this isn't really the right place to post this I wasn't sure where else I could ask.
So one of my audio jacks (male to male phone to stereo ) broke in my AUX port in the car stereo.
I have tried following; Youtube suggestions like using the wd40 tube and sealing it round the tip with a bit of glue with no luck. Also tried a pen tube. I have searched google with not much luck either as it was pretty much the same advice as on the videos.
I even had a go with a spring thinking maybe I could wrap the spring round it but it still won't budge.
Here is the stereo that I have:
(The little black AUX port at the bottom left) any tips please?
Update: Thank you everyone for the great suggestions I really appreciate it, happy to say the tip has been removed!
After trying all these with no luck;
-
WD40 tube + super glue
-
Pen tube + super glue
-
Spring + super glue
-
Hot glue tube
-
Tweezers
-
Blackhead removal tools
-
Tiny Screwdriver
I decided it was time to take it apart as it just wasn't going to budge without a lot of force from the rear (...)
The process wasn't too hard, but still took longer than it should have really as I had to take everything apart. Pleased to say nothing went wrong. It just took a little bit of time unscrewing and soldering. The whole stereo system had to be stripped to the last board where I could finally get access to the AUX port after desoldering it from the board. The AUX port had a strong piece of plastic I had to pry off the bottom off of the AUX port. Once I had access to the other side I just popped the tip out with a screwdriver and some force.
