Thanks Arnold, but that sounds to dangerous! I think I'll try going to the apple store first. LOL!

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. Arnold Schmidt ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gail the U. S.
