Are there any threads on the part that came out. I just wonder if there is
a chance that something unscrewed. Maybe if that's the case, it could be
screwed back together and brought out?
Good luck.

I have an iPhone four, and it's out of warranty, since Money has been
extremely tight for the last couple of months, and I couldn't afford the
apple care agreement. I'll probably go down to my apple store tomorrow, and
talk to them about it. I was also thinking about purchasing a very
inexpensive Bluetooth headset, until I can save the money to get it fixed,
depending on how much it costs. I'm not looking forward to this trip at
all, since it's over 100 degrees today, and is supposed to be 104 tomorrow,
and I can't handle heat well! LOL! What's the cheapest Bluetooth headset
out there? I can probably get sighted help to pair the devices. Some day,
I want a nice, accessible headset. I won't ever buy cables from an ebay
store from hong Kong again, that's for sure!

Hi,
If possible I'd suggest that you take it to someone (Doesn't have to be
Apple) who can take it apart and hopefully get it out. Depending on your
phone, its possible to purchase the jack and microphone? as one unit which
connects to the board on the phone.
Having said this, if I *had* to get it out myself, I'd probably use a very
small pear of needee nose pliers to try and lift the plug out.
Good luck & keep us posted.
Cheers,
Ben.

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!
