A broken mini jack plug is stuck in the audio input on the laptop.

My friend accidentally caught the cable connected from my tower to the laptop, which resulted in the mini jack breaking in half, with a smaller part stuck deep in the audio input of my laptop. Has anyone had this problem, or does anyone have an idea how to solve it?

You won`t gain manual skills through theory.
Use tweezers, how? hmm, use your imagination
As a last resort, unscrew the laptop and it should pop out from the back.
Take out the batteries!!

You won`t be able to push anything out from behind, and you won`t be able to pull it out with tweezers.

It seems to me that the most reasonable solution will be to replace the socket.

I also came across an answer in a similar thread in which the author (surprisingly effectively) used the method of a small nail (or something similar) + a drop of glue. Which doesn`t change the fact that in this case it was probably just a matter of luck.

I`ll give it to you as well Link to the topic regarding replacing the socket (different laptop model, but the procedure is basically the same, I think)

I had a similar failure - a match and a small drop of Super Glue helped.
There`s no point in overdoing it with glue and it`s better to apply twice but too small a drop than once...

If it doesn`t come out... the headphone jack has a hole in the back.

I was stuffing too but I had to disassemble the casing, @avatar also has a cool method, it`s worth trying.

Hello
I had such a problem and I managed to solve it using the "drop" method, except that instead of a match I used a piece of paper rolled into a cylinder (I couldn`t use a match).
I thought that nothing would come of it, but it was successful, so it is definitely possible (contrary to what I read on other forums).

I took out the pin that was left in the plug and lightly inserted it into the tip that was in the clamp and it worked, it turned out that the plugs are designed in such a way that the last part is a push-in and it worked.
I had a soldered plug because I broke the original one
