The superglue might work, but then you need to be sure that you stick to the headphone piece and nothing else, also that superglue doesn't get into your berry
I'd be careful about magnets, there's no telling what a magnetic field will do that close to your berry, might give it a headache that no number of gun'n'tonic's will cure.
The tip of a headphone jack is designed to be held in place by a clamp inside the socket (notice the groove around the near end of the jacks) so you would need a pretty strong magnet to get that out.

Wondering, can you actually see what is stuck in there? My hubby (who is my Mcgyver) suggested very slim possibly plastic tweezers?
He also offered to do it for you, and then realized you were in NY!
Otherwise you might have to take the phone apart..as Russ suggested.
Good luck, I hope something can be figured out.
And hopefully this next round of meds will knock this cough out.
Get better!
Hi P1nk...been a busy day here as well. I'm going to see how my phone runs without BB Protect...As Underway and others don't have an issue with it, it might not even be the problem. So i haven't a clue
Ugh.04-27-11 06:16 PM - morn all, gonna be a busy day here again.
Jaydee, sorry to hear you need ANOTHER round of ab's, hopefully this will do the trick for you. As for the magnet to get that piece out, major no-no, it'll wipe out your sd card and god only knows what would happen to the inner components and chips in the berry itself. Just like a credit card can't be exposed to a magnet
same concept

however cell phones use flash memory on solid state chips not affected by magnets. Holsters have magnetic closures. I still like the super glue idea..I can only imagine how frustrating it would be to have this happen!04-28-11 08:47 AM - Hi P1nk, you are most correct that magnets are bad around conventional hard drives however cell phones use flash memory on solid state chips not affected by magnets.

ahhh....your right! I NEVER thought of that, but that a lighter magnet, I would think if the magnet was very powerful it could do some damage. no?
Boy, don't i look silly now I never used a magnetic closed pouch so in my world they don't exist! lol.
hey, when i'm wrong i admit it feeling silly or not. 04-28-11 11:02 AM - A more powerful magnet would definitely cause some issues. If you remember your science, a moving magnetic field causes electrons to flow in metal that the field encompasses. In english, a powerful enough magnet will be the equivalent of introducing stray electric currents inside your blackberry. Not worth the risk!ahhh....your right!

JayDee, if you could send me your berry over BBM I will gladly fix it up for you and send it back via BBM (if only, eh?).
Russ.04-28-11 11:19 AM - Hey P1nk, all too funny with this! Sorry Jaydee but look how we have all come together to try and fix that darn thing!ahhh....your right! I NEVER thought of that, but that a lighter magnet, I would think if the magnet was very powerful it could do some damage. no?

I do not use the magnetic closure pouch insert eye roll here however my husband does. I'm a bling girl myself much to all of my colleagues humor. He also has magnet thing stuck to dash for one vehicle to stick cell to..quite the geek..again another eye roll Personally I'm not convinced that a magnet would attract to the broken part just passed on info and thought if was interesting that Verizon suggested the same thing to her, would have to try it with another jack first. Soooo...Let's get this fixed!
We need an update Jaydee?? We have our fingers crossed.04-28-11 11:42 AM - It almost seems to me that that age old saying "to each their own" rules the world of our bolds. Because, one gets so many opinions on which works best as far as os's and differing combos of those. I had heard many complain of 466 and yet I thought it worked well for me. Same with the radio of 524 and yet I had no big problems I could tell with it. I have had drops occasionally lately tho with 524, but knew not if it were the radio file or not just a verizon or bold issue in general. 431 is reported by many to be stable and very good. That said I went back to it a couple weeks ago and thought it slow and sluggish. I like to tinker and have found my best concoction to date being the 524 King hybrid. It comes with a base of 524 and 534 files added along with some 6.1. I decided to swap out the radio file for the 466 radio and like it even better. I'd be hard pressed to find a better running os imho for my bold. If you don't like hybrids then you might try the straight 466. I seemed to have fixed my drop calls issues with the 466 radio , so far so good. If 524 is giving you issues then give 466 a try or best yet do what I did. Download Kings V4 and swap out the cdma file for 466.04-28-11 11:54 AM
- +1 here, too. King v4 with the radio from 466 seems to run the best for me, too. Since you already have 524 installed on your PC, you'll either have to replace all of the files that you shrunk out (if you use the shrink utilities), or uninstall and reinstall 524. The goal is to start with a complete OS install. Then replace the 524 Java folder with the v4 hybrid Java folder. Finally, replace the radio file in 524 with the 466 radio. The hybrid installer has some issues, so your hybrid installaton will go a lot smoother if you manually swap Java folders and radio files. Then you can shrink if you want and run LOADER.It almost seems to me that that age old saying "to each their own" rules the world of our bolds.
