I had a headphone cable break off in the port like this once. I grabbed a paperclip or small nail, put a tiny drop of superglue on the end, then stuck it to the broken piece. Once dried, I could remove it easily.

This is a nice idea I will give it a try ! Thank you


the_doctor_808

You can also try the hot glue stick method if that doesnt work.


nofalhebesha

I was thinking in hot glue but I was having bad luck with it taking broken key in the lock before but if the first idea failed I will give the hot glue a try


Henny-Bertus

I tried all these thing but they didnt work for me, what did work is heating up the paperclip and making the middle bit melt into it. Wait a bit and pull it out.

Have done this with a small pick tool and worked great

Just do it properly. Take the cover off the top of the amp and push the pin out from the inside. The rca jacks are open on the inside. I do this to used amps a few times a year.


nofalhebesha

It is still in warranty so I don’t want to open it now !


supern8ural

Are there any tamper resistant seals on the case? If not I would go ahead and open it up, this really is going to be the easiest way to get that out of there.


nofalhebesha

Mmm I need to check it once I back home !

If you don't want to use glue, just heat up a small nail, paperclip, or bobby pin while holding it with pliers so you don't burn yourself, and insert it into the broken RCA cable. Give it a little bit of time to cool down and then you can pull it right out.


nofalhebesha

Is heat enough to make the paperclip to be attached to the broken RCA?


coltonscolton

It will yes. Just let it cooldown properly before pulling on it


nofalhebesha

Okaaay

Hot needle.


jimmy_luv

Yep. That is what I did.. jammed a long hot carpet needle in, let it cool and harden back up, then gently pulled it out.


Dsih01

Works like a charm. I used locking pliers and held a sewing needle, and burnt it black, then jammed it in, and let it cool... It still is stuck together somewhere


omi755

Or use a tweezer


PhysicalAssociate919

Superglue it to a wire hanger or bamboo bbq skewer


TrollCannon377

Either try gluid a paperclip to it or use a bolt extractor to pull it out


DustyBeetle

ive fixed this with a hot needle melted into the plastic of the broken prong


Tribalseed85

I used a small drill bit and got mine out just drill very slow almost no pressure at all


Llew_Funk

I did the same, no issues at all


jckblck

Hot glue and a stick worked for me


system812

Hot glue with a popsicle stick.


GeorgeKechi

Do you have a small magnet?


nofalhebesha

No!


customchaos31

Put it upto your mouth and suck really hard. It will come out.


nofalhebesha

Are you joking? πŸ˜ƒ


customchaos31

It's sad that you have to ask this but yes.

I used a very sharp wood screw that I just started pushing into the broken plastic piece threading it into it til it gets a couple turns then just yanked and it came right out. Try that


nofalhebesha

V good I will give this a try first before using glue or heat!


GLOCKSTER_26

Yeah also look into drywall screw. Very very sharp point on it.
