If this doesn't work first time, you have some options. The tube should grip the broken part and pull it out. Simply push it firmly into your earphone socket and remove the broken headphone jack. You can use this portion of the tube to remove the broken plug. This is the piece with the ink in it and is almost always removed by pulling the nib of the pen.Īt the bottom of the tube, the opposite end to the nib, you should find there is no ink. To do this, remove the inner tube of the pen.
