How would I go about doing this on a laptop??? I'm afraid to dismantle my costly dell!
Removing a broken 3.5mm headphone plug from a headphone jack
i happened to me once. sent it to an electrical shop, they used a very small driller tu drill it out. it cost ~USD$3
use a surgical clamp or forceps [with very fine ends, and with firm grip] to grab the jack and pull it out....
what would you think of dismantling it?
Something similar happened on my laptop. The 3.5mm headphone input became separated from the insides of the laptop. I was told it could cost up to £100 to fix... I just bought an external sound card for around £20 and I already had some speakers, and it's works great!
Hah, i always thought about this, but never really wondered what i would do if it would happen to me.
I'd probably just take it to my dad, as he does alot of computer work .. well he's more hardware oriented than me..
uhmm.. yeah maybe take it in to a Computer Shop nearby? i dont really know what to tell ya mate : /
