How to get a broken headphone jack out of my macbook?
My coworker has broken it and left half of it inside my mb
I can listen to any music right now since it thinks i have a headphone attach to it.

Help, thanks

Let's pray that the broken piece is not inserted all the way into the jack. I would have to remove the motherboard from the system, then see if there are enough clearance me to take it out. Bear in mind that the jack normally would lock it in place. So it will not be easy.

If it is inserted in all the way, and I cannot remove it. You will need to buy a new motherboard. Apple tests every items going back to them, so there is no way to cheat the system by saying it is not working.

You can PM me and I will send you to my store.

Since you didn't tell me what model of MBP. I assume it would be 15" Core 2 Duo:
You are lucky that the bottom case is much cheaper than the top case. The bottom case cost $145, and labour extra (about $120) for 1.5 hours of install.

Apple IS expensive to begin with. Labour rate is set by the store. I know Simply Computing can do it cheaper, but me and my co-worker can't remember how many times we clean up messes that made by them.

Just checked for you, a logic board replacement cost about $1000 (straight purchase) not including labour.... So... we can try to get it out, but no guarantee we can take it out.

i wonder if this is a plausible method

use a thin metal stick (maybe one by straightening a paper clip)

apply super glue (i am not very sure if super glue is usable on metal though) at one end

insert to hole, touch the remained jack with the stick, hold until super glue bonds

pull slowly...and hopefully the bond is strong enough to pull the jack out

Hi pkphilip
I have a macbook and the model is MB062LL/A.
I am just wondering how much does it cost to upgrade it from 1gb ram to 2 gb?

And is this macbook easy to get hot normally? because everytime I played any video(even though those online ones like youtube), it would get pretty hot and the fan would get so noisy

thanks
