Hi guys, I just want to ask if I can go to an ACER store and ask to fix the inside of my headphone jack. It's because I can't put my earphones inside of it. A small bead blocked it and I can't take it out. I really need help. How much is it for it to be removed? Any other tips also on how can I remove the bead inside. Please thanks!

    my first thought was compressed air but if its jammed in there that won't work.  ok, get a really fine needle and see if you can work it out.

    I already tried using a fine needle and I cant even get the bead out. I think its really stucked inside the jack. If I go to a service center, ofc it would help me right. But will it cost me expensive? Or it is minor enough to be cheap? Need help huhu Smiley Sad

    if the bead is made of plastic, take a long needle and heat the point then push it to the bead, wait 20 seconds and try to pull it out.

    Or try with a vacuum cleaner.

    Hi there I think its a good idea. I just find out that it is the silica gel from the bag of the laptop. So I guess its a plastic?

    not plastic at all.

     

    try to shake your laptop while using a vacuum cleaner

    are you able to see the silica gel inside the jack?

     

    probably one of the internal leaf is holding it, you can try another way.

    take a cotton bud, cut one extremity (so it has only the plastic part), put some glue (super glue can be good but be very carefull or you will glue the cotton bud too) on the top end (just a little) and put the cotton bud inside the headphone jack and try to catch the silica gel, hold it 5 seconds and try to pull out.
