I found a free convenient way to repair a broken RCA input jack out of a RCA Input....Please comment, Like, Share & Subscribe! Please be safe........Kids get you parents permission and or supervision...
So simple, so effective. Worked perfectly for two pins stuck in my TV when a soundbar got knocked to the ground, snapping them off. I used one of the very small Philips head screwdrivers heated up on the gas stove. Full 5.1 now restored through new cable. Thanks so much!
That "Hell Yeah!" moment when the pin you have been trying to get out for the last hour comes out as easy as that. Pro tip. Snap the pin off the other end of the damaged cable and practice outside of the component jack first.
Wow, this was very helpful, cant believe you only have 8 comments, because I know it helped alot more people.... Saved my customers $250 repair bill from Onkyo... Props to you my man!
This was a great idea. Unfortunately I didnt create a hook on the end of a nail I was using with pliers, so it didnt work. I did it several times and now I think whatever is in the middle of that plug is now thoroughly melted and wont attach. I tried it with crazy glue too but that didnt work either. Should have made the hook.
Well done for an ingenious way of dealing with a difficult problem. Unfortunately I have a similar problem. I have three broken off Toslink optical digital connectors stuck in an amplifier and another piece of equipment. I don't know why that happened, but all three optical leads are the same make, obviously poorly made, although I used them a long time. I can't use my fingers to grip and get them out. Do you have any ideas? Do you think your method would work with them? I kind of think Toslink optical connectors are badly designed anyway, the way they fit inside and the way you have to push and pull to get them in and out.
SANDIEGOROOTS Just to echo the other comments here: it was a great, simple and money-saving method. We're a small skid-row Mission and the TV had been donated so we could show our services on closed-circuit for people who can't make it up the stairs. Someone tried to break in and steal the TV, but since it was chained/bolted to the wall all they succeeded in doing was snapping off the jacks (and leaving a nice, clear handprint on the screen!) ... so we could ill afford the repair bill. Thanks again!
where do and or how do i get anything to fit in there i couldn't seem to find anything that could even fit into the jack please help? im trying to save my sub-woofer im really upset that some how someone cause i doubt it was me got the left speaker jack to break off into the back of the sub idk how or why or when which made me more pissed when i realized my left speaker wasn't working then i realized why smh so please any advice or tips that could help will be appreciated.... ive tried a flat head i found in my basement even tried a circle star screw driver that i borrowed from my bro.... its smaller then the flat head but still i little to big to make it passed the entrance of the Rca output maybe some extra tips?
I got the exposed center of the male rca plug out, but the metal casing was still inside, loged in deep. So, sadly, i can not use my av sockets in my nes anymore, so i will have to use coaxal. But, great video, if only i was more patient :/
+NordicTexan Sorry to hear man, But there is retro gaming places that will open your console, clean it and could replace the part you talking about. Thanks for commenting and watching!
Yes, certain way to hold the tool that has been heated, too thin, the metal doesn't come out, too thick and you damage the out female output area. Maybe when you heated the tool you didn't go in straight enough or you didn't go far in enough...
oh thanks bro ' i did it with an L tool... and it freaking worked i was excited it did i was going to send my tv to a repair place but this method got the job done... thank you so much for posting this video
There is too much friction inside the plug to get out the prong without using heat. There's no need for a blowtorch though. I used a lighter and a needle. Just get the needle tip red hot and push it into the center portion of the plug. Once it has cooled you can easily pull out the broken plug.
HELP! , that happened to me with my active subwoofer. I removed the rca from the inside of the subwoofer. BUT now the Subwoofer is making Ground sound. and no Bass its coming out. help anywone?
Hi, this is for mainly the rcs input. Just to dislodge a rca jack that has been lodged in the output. As far as the Sound device and its wiring and such that's something I would have to look at and then make another video.
Hey, I'm having a similar problem, but sadly, only the metal part got stuck inside. the plastic is still attached to the cable. Is there any other way I could get it out?? Thanks ^.^
