I'd disassemble and press the tip out backwards from the inside. Other possible solutions are: Bend tip on safety pin, insert, twist, and pull out backwards. Carefully use glue to remove. Perhaps superglue on a wooden toothpick, or thick JB Quick Weld on the broken remainder of the male jack. Moisture or water makes superglue dry, so you can blow your breath to get a droplet to dry fast, or use another toothpick with water on the tip. It may not hold, and is a little risky if you screw up. I've actually used this glue method with the broken power tip of an iBook, but the power tip had a tiny residual collar of plastic to hold the glue droplet, and the audio jack will likely be missing any similar indentation. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re audio
the centre of most audio jack are hollow? so if they break off in the jack socket then you get a thin screw and screw it in to the broken jack plug and remove the broken tip. It takes seconds you do not need to take anything apart and there is no risk of getting a tooth pick covered in super glue stuck in there onto of the broken jack . I have done this to many times to count . william -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

There are alternatives, but a suitable self-tapping screw, not a machine screw, will often work. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Trying to retrieve the broken portion of the jack has proven difficult. I have some old Mac parts laying around and thought that maybe I could remove the blocked headphone jack and replace it with a different one. My other great idea is to use my drill and go through the metal casing of the jack and see if I can get a better view of the broken piece and remove it. I am sure that I can count on all of you to help me put out the fire Any other suggestions? Thanks, Larry If you have a jack you can pull off another board I say to replace it.

Re: audio cards
Hello, What is your budget? What software do you plan to use? Which Mac will you be using? I've been using an M-Audio Audiophile 2496 for several years with absolutely no trouble. They sell for about $100. http://m-audio.com/products/en_us/Audiophile2496.html However, it's A/D signal-to-noise is only about 100 db.
