tip of headphone jack stuck in audio port

[cmp007]

So the tip off the headphone jack broke off in the phone. I can hear it move around and sounds like it's at the very bottom underneath the prongs on the side that hold it I've tried superglue on a stick and it's not strong enough to pull it past the prongs. I really didn't want to take the phone apart and mess up the seal so does anyone have suggestions? I use my phone almost all day for music so I want to try to fix it asap.

Off the top of my head I cannot think of an ingenious way to remove the bottom portion of the headphone jack.
Can you show how much is stuck in the 3.5mm port? You may want to invest in a cheap set of Bluetooth headphones or speakers

There's 2 black lines on the jack it broke at the first one. If it was more it would be easy but the jack is loose under the prongs that hold it in and I can't get enough hold on it to pull it through it

I see what you're saying the little contact leaf springs have it trapped.
I'll keep looking at mine and see if I can come up with something maybe some other person here will hit us with a great idea

if you could possibly use something like a needle to compress the contact spring and let it fall out that might work remove your battery first of course just in case you might short something out

I was going to try that I just can't see in there to see what I need to hold down

I would just take whatever small tool you are using such as a blunted needle and press it tight against the copper leaf spring contacts, hold the phone upside down and shake it at the same time maybe you'll get lucky and the tip will fall out

Worth a shot. I don't want to break the waterproof seal or I would of already taken it apart
