This video still relevant, THANK YOU! I used the needle trick and it came out of my TV! Have a great day
Awesome to hear that the video helped you out. Thanks for the comment.
Worked for me. Thought it was hopeless but back in business. Many thanks
Nice to hear. Happy it worked out for you.
This video made my day. About a year ago, this happened to my Behringer MS40 studio monitors, and I couldn't toss them. I bought another pair not as good for the meantime. I found this video and wallah! Lol, I'm now putting them back to use. Thanks!
That’s absolutely awesome to hear. Very similar to my situation. Was super scared they were going to be unusable and would need to be replaced which would be such a waste of money. So I’m very happy to know the video helped you out with yours.
Can confirm this worked, with a safety pin!! Thank you for saving me from having to do a repair on my vintage stereo!
Super happy to hear it helped. I recently broke off an RCA pin in my car audio port but the pin was all metal. So, I could not melt into the plastic to pull it out. Instead, I just used a piece of metal hanging wire to maneuver it out. A little harder than this method but still works as well.
Thank you so much, used a safety pin and worked like a charm
Great to hear you were able to get the pin out.
Thank you, this worked for me. I utterly had no idea what to do. Thanks for sharing.
Nice. I am happy it helped you out.

Hey Andrew, Thank you so much,,had tried to remove like anything ,,and thinking to change my speaker,, but after seeing your video my issue resolved and in first attempt I have removed this 2 rc pin from hole....nice useful video..thanks UA-cam..
Awesome to hear! Happy it helped you out. Always nice not to have to replace something expensive for no real reason.
Worked perfectly! Thank you so much for this!

thank youuuu!!! I was freaking out!!! worked out first try for me with a safety pin needle 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Nice! Happy the video helped.
Worked for me! Thanks so much for sharing!!
Great to hear! So happy it worked for you and that the video was helpful. Thanks for the feedback.
This worked for me after a few failed attempts with sewing needles finally I used an older kind of alloy brooch with pin on back. Think you have to have the right metal to melt and grip and wait about 20 - 30 seconds at least for the plastic to melt. It came out part way so I pulled the rest with tweezers.Thanks for the u tube!
Happy it helped. I realized that using a syringe needle really isn’t practical for anyone not in the medical profession. But, as you pointed out, anything metal and small that can heat up should work for at least melting plastic. Kind of annoying but much easier than having to get a replacement or throw out something expensive.
Worked like a charm
Great to hear! Happy it worked out for you.
Life saver😅🙌🏿

No problem! Happy to hear the video helped you out.
thank you man for help you safe one of my speakers I appreciate that and thank you for your help man
No problem. Thanks for the feedback and happy I was able to help.
If you have no plastic inside, you can try to superglue a toothpick inside the hollow metal cylinder or... push it out from inside the unit which may be difficult to access.
That’s a good idea as long as you don’t get the superglue inside. That would be more problematic.
@@AndrewRockUA-cam Yeah, on mine, I was able to open the unit and remove the contact pins from the back of the rca connector that leads to the circuit board. That gave me access to just push the broken metal rca pin out.
That seems like a lot of work. I’d probably not be able to put it back together effectively.
It works thank
Nice. Happy to hear it helped you out.
It worked. Thanks a lot bro!
And subscribed 😊
Great to hear. Happy the video helped you out.
I used a mini screw driver and it worked for me that way!!!
Happy to hear it worked for you! Thanks for the feedback.
Thanx for the tip. Is there any trick I could modify and fix the broken connections back without buying a new pair ?
Do you mean the connector for the cable that broke off into the speaker?
Yes specifically thr RCA + pin modification or replacement ,without actually buying a new set.
@@nigeldevete1736 To be honest, I do not really know as I have never tried to attempt it. Only time I have run into this issue is just with speaker input cables for my car, computer, or phone. So, the cable only costs about $5-10 and I just end up purchasing a new one. Not sure it would be worth the time and effort to try and fix it. Sorry I couldn’t help beyond that.
Will it work with gold plated rca?
No sure. You’ll have to see what the inside is made of. If it’s plastic it should melt and solidify to pull it out. I know headphones are usually hollow and for those you need to just mess with prying it out.
I tried this. I could remove only plastic part. Outer metallic part still in the connector
Try taking a ball tip pen and using the back plastic part to shove it into the metal part to get it stuck so it can pull out. Just don’t press too hard so that it get stuck further. Other option is once it’s loose you can use a small needle to pry it out but that’s usually quite annoying
I just tried that on my TV.. the plastic part came out but the metal part stayed in..
Try using small pliers or forceps. Or you can take like a small needle and slowly press against the edge to slide it out. It happened in my car once. It’s tedious but if you’re persistent should work. Let me know how it goes.
Other option I did is you can take a ball point pen. Pull out the pen part. Then turn it around and put the plastic into the middle to get it caught on. Sometimes that works. But if you press too hard it can jam it in further.
😂i burnt the sides of the red colored port, but the metal part is generally only showing 🤦♂️
Were you able to get it out and working?
