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!
