Snapped earphone connector in my Nexus 4
I managed to snap the end of my earphones in my Nexus 4 and part of it is lodged in the phone now and I am having difficulty removing it. I have tried:
- Cotton buds - Toothpicks - Tweezers - A combination of glue on the remaining part of the headphone connector - Glue on the cotton bud/toothpick etc.. Nothing seems to work! Any other tricks? Don't want to bin a perfectly good phone because of this! If I took it into a jewellers, would they have small enough tools to get it out? Thanks. |

A jeweller might be able to drill a small hole in it and then tap a screw into it to pull it out. Not sure how small their drills are though. A high street phone shop might be able to take it apart.

The part is only £7 on eBay.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Replacemen...item2a3f93fed7 It would a fairly easy job to replace if necessary, check ifixit for instructions. |
