Broken 3.5mm jack stuck inside the desktop headphone plug.

[Fire&Blood]

Leaned the chair back too far, pressed against the audio jack and broke it off. ~90% of the rod is still inside. Found a video of a guy using glue to get it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fV9sLVwFJao

Figured I would check here first. What are my options? Temporarily using backup headphones, phone and soundwire so I'm not in a hurry.

Audio jack in what?

they're often not difficult to access...but, it really depends on what kind of equipment it's in.

Desktop PC.

I'm considering using a pin and glue but it's getting late so I'll check the thread tomorrow for suggestions, thanks in advance.

Depending on the PC, you MAY be able to access the back side of the jack, where you might be able to push the broken part out with a small screwdriver or pin.

Right. Broke off the 3.5mm "jack" in the "audio port". "Rod" still inside.

I get ya buddy. Playin' a bit aggressively with your butt, huh?

is there any space in the middle of the broken jack? Glue is probably your best bet, but you might try a needle as well. When I had a stuck RCA jack I used a needle, got it red hot and stuck it in the jack. The middle was plastic and melted to the needle. Waited a few seconds and pulled it right out.
