Silica grain stuck in audio port...
Ariesnl

Today I wanted to connect my headphone to my laptop. But the phonejack would not go in anymore.
Investigation revealed that somehow a grain of silica (the stuff you get with camera's and other electronics in a "sugarbag") got stuck in the audioport.
I tried to get it out, but to no avail...:-/

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Can't get it out with a needle?

DanielH

Compressed air can

Try the garden hose if you don't have a pressure washer :P

@Torhu :I do have a kärcher, I bet it comes out 🤣🤣🤣

Vacuum cleaner?

Saw? 8-)

DanielH

Soldering iron and a replacement port?

Ariesnl

A microdrill and some compressed air did the trick ;D

Polybios

Pics or it didn't happen. :P

DanielH

Kind of too late for that. I'm sure he can show you a pic of an empty socket.
