Tip of jack stuck!

@""aeoner""

@natrixgli , thank you SÓ MUCH for the help!

However, as I don’t know exaltou the way the jack works inside, I still have a doubt: the metal tabs are mobile (based on the clicks that I hear/feel, I supose there are two of them; the first one that we can see in the picture and another one holding the jack tip)? I

So, if they are mobile, what I should do is press them, right?

Thanks a lot!

Yes, you want to press them towards the outside of the socket so the plug tip can clear them. Just do it gently because you don’t want to permanently bend them as then your jack won’t make good contact.
If your screw can get a good enough hold on the broken tip, you might not need to fiddle with the metal tabs inside the jack at all, just applying a slight bit of leverage to the screw in the direction opposite of the tabs might be enough to get the tip to clear the first tab. Again, gentle. The housing of the jack is plastic and from what I’ve seen in pictures online, it does not look fun to replace.

Based on the picture you posted that should be really easy to get out with a bit of patience and persistence. Lucky the tip is hollow so you can get a screw into it.
