Default Headset Jack Broken

The tip of a headset snapped off inside the black plastic headset jack, so the phone thinks that headphones are always plugged in. This causes the speaker to not work. I got a broken motherboard online for cheap. I am going to attempt to switch the jacks. Besides "That's a dumb idea", does anyone have any suggestions or words of wisdom? Thanks.

Default Broken headphone socket

You could try a matchstick or something similar with a tiny dab of superglue, let the glue go off and with a bit of luck you'll be able to remove the bit of broken jack plug without disassembling your handheld. Good luck.

I should have mentioned that I tried super glue and disconnecting the battery and wrapping a wire arounda thin piece of metal and pulling out the plug with an electromagnet. Neither worked. It is lodged in there really good.

Nightmare! I've got a long shot but it may be worth a go. Given that some people are using the ink tube part of a bic biro pen to mod 2.5-3.5mm adapters I guess that the ink tube part is slightly wider than 2.5mm. Is it possible that you could slide a bit of ink tube in the socket over the broken bit of jack plug and pull it out?
