was listening to music via head phones, into the headphone port. when i went to pull the headphones out of the port, the end broke off and i am unable to reach it. if i take the phone apart, will i be able to get to this broken part and pull it out?
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.
this is what i do and it works very well. try to put a small amount of superglue on the broken end and stick it back in your phone. hold it and let it dry then try to pull it out. if that doesnt work then take a paperclip straighten the end of it. then hold a lighter underneath it till it is red hot. then stick it in your phone jack and it will melt the plastic and bond to the broken headphone piece so you can pull it out. this method works for me very well
I was listening to music and I set my phone in my pocket and I must of moved wrong and the jack of ear phones got suck in my phone so I took a pin cartridge and put it in the hole then I pulled a piece of it out but there was still some in there so I took some small nettle nose plires and in a sideways motion I took the pliers and pulled it out so basically I dug it out but be careful it could mess up your phone

Take a cheap BIC pen and take the ink cartridge out. Then put a small amount of hot glue into the end opposite of where the writing part of the pen is. Quickly insert into the the jack and press for 10 to 15 seconds. Now pull the cartridge out. It worked for me
You can use any glue hold it down on the thing you trying to get out for 5 minutes and it comes right out but u can only pull as fast and risk it or go as slow as you can and nothing so have fun wish u the best The end
I got the center part of a pen which was too small to do the first method then melted the plastic with a lighterand stuck it in. I waited a while then pulled it out and it worked! So happy.
I think the best way is to use a needle,birthday badgeetc stab it into the rubber part then yank it out it worked for my apple earphones.
All of these above are very good but most are for if you can risk damaging the headphones port. I have a broken off end of my headphone stuck in my £700 laptop. I really don’t want to ruin the audio port so is there any safe and easy way to remove it

Just use the end of a pen tube and force it into the end of the broken headphones. If it’s too big then bite the end of the tube push it in again and pull it out really fast. This worked for me. Hope this helped!
Tried the glue method and it’s worse. I am trying the bic pen and now it seems too tight and impossible to remove. Any ideas?
Use a nail cutter (a big one if necessary) and position it to the end/tip of the nail cutter, pierce into the stuck earphone jack and yank it out! Hope this works!
I’m having this situation right now. I managed to get the brass cover off with a safety pin, but the broken piece is still stuck. Any ideas or am I screwed? I just got this laptop at Christmas as a gift

How do you get a pen ink tube from a BIC pen like how do you open the pen
I broke my jack into a point where a normal method is useless, its not at the end. Its the midpoint, so the pen thing is too small. I need help so any suggestions.
