I wouldn't even try anything. I'd take it to the apple store and see if
they can do it.

I hope I never have a situation to try this, and I say: Try at your own
risk. I can't emphasize try at your own risk enough, either it will work,
or have the potential to make the situation worse. But I think there is a
possibility it will work. I thought it up when I heard of somebody's
husband breaking off her cord's plug in her XM satellite receiver. We
didn't get to try the following, being that I didn't know about it until
after they had thrown the whole thing in the trash.
Being totally blind, I definitely would get competent sighted assistance
for this one. And I would do several dry runs first. But get a toothpick
and some instant glue. Put a very small drop of instant glue onto the
toothpick, and stick to a point as near the center of this broken off
connector as possible. The flatter it broke off, the better. You
certainly don't want any of this glue to get into the jack, so if I were
doing it, I would hold the phone in such a way that it is above the
toothpick, and lower the phone onto the toothpick. Hopefully, any extra
glue will run down the toothpick and not into the jack. Wait a few
seconds, and see if you can pull the whole mess out. I think you might
have one shot only.
Again, I say try at your own risk.

Hi list, I bought a male to male audio cable on Ebay, to use for hooking
my
iPhone up to the auxiliary input on a radio, which lets me use it as a
large
speaker. That's all fine, except I plugged the cable in, and part of the
tip came off! It's down in the Headphone jack; I have no Bluetooth
headset
either. This thing came from Hong Kong, and is the shodiest cable I've
ever
seen! I think the tip is gold. I also have no way to call apple, since
my
iPhone is my only phone!
