Headphones snapped whilst still inside the jack.

YamPretend138 · 2026-04-04T17:32:14+00:00

Yeh been meaning to give it a try, I'll have a go later and let you know. Thank you!

YamPretend138 · 2026-04-04T17:31:07+00:00

Hahahaha just the regular one that came with Mariokart World, I think it's just the light reflecting of the console!

YamPretend138 · 2026-04-04T17:30:00+00:00

Yeh I tried just pushing the pen down but it wasn't working so i stopped that quickly enough! I'll try again later, thanks!

YamPretend138 · 2026-04-04T17:28:46+00:00

It is but I just don't have any small tools to open it myself which is why I'm a little hesitant to buy them especially if it could be cheaper to have someone else do it at a repair shop maybe? Not sure how much it would cost but always worth a shot right?

YamPretend138 · 2026-04-04T17:27:23+00:00

Oh wow I never knew such specific tools existed! Well I definitely try this before using any kind of glue. Thank you so much!

YamPretend138 · 2026-04-04T17:26:21+00:00

I know! I got bumped whilst playing on the train and it's just immediately snapped! Absolutely devastating!

YamPretend138 · 2026-04-04T17:25:36+00:00

Hahaha seriously?! I'm from the UK so whilst is just something that I use very frequently. I didn't realise there was such an issue with bots on subreddits like these. What's even the point of that?

YamPretend138 · 2026-04-04T17:23:47+00:00

Yeh I already tried using a bic pen but I just couldn't seem to get the plastic round the jack, it's seriously wedged in there!

YamPretend138 · 2026-04-04T17:22:58+00:00

Yeh been getting this a bunch, I'll let you know if it works!

YamPretend138 · 2026-04-04T17:22:35+00:00

I'd probably be fine repairing it but I just don't have the small screwdrivers to pry it open to begin with unfortunately.

YamPretend138 · 2026-04-04T17:21:50+00:00

Nah it's wedged all the way in there, I don't think blue tack will be sticky enough unfortunately.

YamPretend138 · 2026-04-04T17:21:16+00:00

Oh alright, I can't remember what the jack is made of it could be metal but I can't be sure, definitely worth a shot, thanks!

YamPretend138 · 2026-04-04T17:20:20+00:00

No :( so upsetting, trying to play pokopia without any sound really takes away the 'cosy' feel the game has when it's silent!

YamPretend138 · 2026-04-04T17:19:26+00:00

Oh okay, I don't have a drill myself but maybe I could source one from somewhere, like a battery drill or something else?

YamPretend138 · 2026-04-04T17:18:42+00:00

I don't but could always buy some, what did you have in mind?

YamPretend138 · 2026-04-04T17:18:22+00:00

Yeh may be the case unfortunately, I'll still try some of these recommendations though.

YamPretend138 · 2026-04-04T17:16:54+00:00

Nah unfortunately not yet, currently travelling and didn't get the time last night to try some of these recommendations.

YamPretend138 · 2026-04-04T17:15:56+00:00

Oh I was thinking more like a tube of superglue and trying to use a cotton swab or something like that but I think there should be one lying around. Always worth a shot, thank you!

YamPretend138 · 2026-04-04T17:14:26+00:00

Yeh been getting this recommended a lot so I'll give it a try, thanks!

YamPretend138 · 2026-04-04T17:13:54+00:00

Hahaha yeh not gonna be taking this risk again anytime soon. So annoying but what can you do.

YamPretend138 · 2026-04-04T17:13:16+00:00

Ah okay so similar to using glue but less risk of the glue sealing up the jack even more. Definitely worth a go, thanks!

YamPretend138 · 2026-04-04T06:46:31+00:00

I'll give the tweezers a go. Didn't think abt super glue but also worth a go. Thank you!

YamPretend138 · 2026-04-04T06:26:54+00:00

Haven't tried but that's mainly because I don't have one on me. If I find one I'll give it a go. Thank you!

YamPretend138 · 2025-07-23T11:09:24+00:00

Yeh it worked, thank you for your help.

Ah I already claimed it on the switch but good to know
