In this video, I show you a quick and easy way to remove broken RCA pins from a speaker using a lighter and needle. Subscribe here: / @andrewrockyoutube Thanks for watching, Andrew
This video made my day. About a year ago, this happened to my Behringer MS40 studio monitors, and I couldn't toss them. I bought another pair not as good for the meantime. I found this video and wallah! Lol, I'm now putting them back to use. Thanks!
That’s absolutely awesome to hear. Very similar to my situation. Was super scared they were going to be unusable and would need to be replaced which would be such a waste of money. So I’m very happy to know the video helped you out with yours.
Super happy to hear it helped. I recently broke off an RCA pin in my car audio port but the pin was all metal. So, I could not melt into the plastic to pull it out. Instead, I just used a piece of metal hanging wire to maneuver it out. A little harder than this method but still works as well.
Hey Andrew, Thank you so much,,had tried to remove like anything ,,and thinking to change my speaker,, but after seeing your video my issue resolved and in first attempt I have removed this 2 rc pin from hole....nice useful video..thanks RU-vid..
This worked for me after a few failed attempts with sewing needles finally I used an older kind of alloy brooch with pin on back. Think you have to have the right metal to melt and grip and wait about 20 - 30 seconds at least for the plastic to melt. It came out part way so I pulled the rest with tweezers.Thanks for the u tube!
Happy it helped. I realized that using a syringe needle really isn’t practical for anyone not in the medical profession. But, as you pointed out, anything metal and small that can heat up should work for at least melting plastic. Kind of annoying but much easier than having to get a replacement or throw out something expensive.
Thank you I appreciate the help I just happen to run into this problem like 20min ago jumped on here and bam it worked thank you brotha man now I can hook my sound bar back up to my tv.
@@nigeldevete1736 To be honest, I do not really know as I have never tried to attempt it. Only time I have run into this issue is just with speaker input cables for my car, computer, or phone. So, the cable only costs about $5-10 and I just end up purchasing a new one. Not sure it would be worth the time and effort to try and fix it. Sorry I couldn’t help beyond that.
Try taking a ball tip pen and using the back plastic part to shove it into the metal part to get it stuck so it can pull out. Just don’t press too hard so that it get stuck further. Other option is once it’s loose you can use a small needle to pry it out but that’s usually quite annoying
No sure. You’ll have to see what the inside is made of. If it’s plastic it should melt and solidify to pull it out. I know headphones are usually hollow and for those you need to just mess with prying it out.
Try using small pliers or forceps. Or you can take like a small needle and slowly press against the edge to slide it out. It happened in my car once. It’s tedious but if you’re persistent should work. Let me know how it goes.
Other option I did is you can take a ball point pen. Pull out the pen part. Then turn it around and put the plastic into the middle to get it caught on. Sometimes that works. But if you press too hard it can jam it in further.
