How To Take Out Broken Headphone Jack From Ipad

Pull the tube out quickly.

How to take out broken headphone jack from ipad. If simply inserting a ball pen tube doesnt work try one of the following workarounds. Professionals and DIYers alike trust iFixit tools to get the job done. I tried everything even going as far as using a hairdryer to clean it out.

Turn the phone upside down to remove any metal particles. Ive been bummed for 2 12 months while I struggled with the loss of audio from my iPad. Let the glue set then give a pull to see if you can get it out.

Remove it and gently mold the opening with whatever you want I used a toothpick carefully a little at a time while testing it over and over again until it finally is just wide enough to slide over the broken headphone jack while still remaining tight enough to grip the broken piece with sufficient friction. Hold in place for a few seconds so that it can harden. Maybe kind of hard to picture but stereo headphones are in 3 sections the end section is stuck in there.

Eventually I got cotton out of a q-tip and I misread an instruction. The tip should melt the plastic at the center of the jack then twist it a bit so the hook can melt its way into the plastic and take hold let the plastic harden again then try to gently pull it out. More than likely it will not fit.

Repeat a little drilling screwing in and pulling until the piece comes out. I started trying to pull it out and the plug broke and is stuck in the phone. Another option is to use a dab of super glue to reconnect the two broken pieces of the headphone plug.

If the broken jack piece left in the ipad still has a small post of metal showing mine did i took a short length of wire from a piece of 103 electrical wire ground wire is bare copper took a small soldering gun as it heats up quickly put some soldering flux on the end of the copper wire heated it and put a light coating of solder on it then put a small dab of flux on the broken jack end in the ipad then took. Twist it in by hand until it grips the wires inside the plug. Turn off your Dremel tool and remove the burr.
