[QUOTE="chscag, post: 911119, member: 46727"] This is a common problem - tip of the jack breaks off and is lodged in the female connector which is attached to the main board. Replacing the main board is one way - but it's drastic and expensive. I suggest you first do a search in this forum and other Mac forums to see how some have solved the problem and removed the broken tip. If you would like to take your machine apart yourself, the best step by step instructions are found on the iFixit site. [URL="http://www.ifixit.com/"]LINK[/URL] Regards. [/QUOTE]
