[QUOTE="retreat_retreat, post: 476040, member: 37415"] Hi guys, my mac was recentley in an accident and to my dismay, a headphone jack plugged into the headphone socket snapped, leaving the tip inside the socket. After ringing apple i then found that this would not be covered by applecare, as it was a 3rd party problem and would therefore be costly to fix (they quoted between 40 and 570 quid). Anyway, basically im looking for a (prefereably cheap) solution, either to A) remove the tip of the jack myself (very risky,could void warranty and likely to fail) B) Find a short term solution i.e. somehow bypass the mute activated when headphhones are plugged in. C) find a another way of playig audio i.e. USB soundcard, streaming over wifi/bluetooth etc. I looked at using airtunes, but it appears that only works for Itunes, and not general audio. Many Thanks in advance :) [/QUOTE]
