BradJohnson Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Hi, Basically part of my earphone Jack snapped off inside my dads new laptop, I managed to get the snapped part out of the laptop so the speakers now work, but the Jack port is now unusable. I'm just wondering if there's something i can buy that will plug into the HDMI port on the laptop that will have a female AUX Connection so i can still plug in an AUX cable and run it to my speakers. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 You've buggered his new laptop - take it to a decent repair store and expect a hefty bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I've managed to get it out with a tooth pick and some super glue, but the connection inside is now buggered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HippY Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 for a new laptop there is really high possibility that you cannot change the port, not even with soldering, as it should be really hard to find that is an HDMI OUT port, so you will not transfer anything in to from there.

N.Wood Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 I am a headphone jack enthusiast, and can tell you now there is no other option but to send it back for a factory-fit replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was coming back here to post a link to one of those. They do a pretty good job, but obviously more temporary and temperamental than a genuine fix.

N.Wood Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 No dumb dumb, the 'just pulled out the headphones'. Also, do you not care that you broke someone's new bit of electronic equipment and you're trying to look for a shitty temp fix rather than being a man and getting it fixed properly? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 This is the same guy that sold a wheel, then couldn't afford to post it. Ah wait, I think your question was rhetorical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HippY Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 So every bit is out, the speakers work and the aux does not work? I reckon you could bring it back at warranty as it had a problem that broke your headphone and made the laptops input faulty It seems like it needs to be replaced, but it cannot be done without any parts, your option 2 is that usb sound card, but I would do the warranty thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
