    Wow, don't do anything requiring a drill or heat. The safest way to remove those pesky glass beads is to take the case apart and pop the bead out from behind using a small paper clip or other similar object. It takes longer but you won't harm the jack.

      Partially true. In my case it was a work laptop and they are never fixed, they get replaced. Also, most headphone conenctors are atually sealed at the end, so there is no way to insert a needle.

      @@UltimateDIY I work on computers where I work and though some are sealed on the back side, the headset ports on the Chromebooks I work on are not sealed, though the opening is often very small so it takes a small unfolded paperclip, or one of those pointy tools that comes with cell phones to get in there to pop out the foreign object.
      In cases where I can't remove the foreign object most of those headset ports are on a daughter board and are easy to replace with stock from my stack of broken computers.
      I work on Asus, Samsung, Lenovo, and Dell Chromebooks and all of those models have headset ports which are open on the back side. Most of those models have headset ports which are on removable daughter boards.

      Never actively looked at this detail, but I did save a few ports, just in case I need to replace one somewhere and they are closed. But I agree, if you insist, you might be able to put a really thin needle in some of them.

      @@UltimateDIY When it comes to computer repair, it's always good to have options, it's crazy how some of them are put together. Dell likes to use double stick tape to hold the bezel on the LCD panel on their Chromebook 3100, it's challenging to take those apart without breaking the panel.

      Ahhhh....the double sided tape...I hate that!

    Had the same issue on my macbook pro. I risked it and used a fine tweezer to scrap and slowly shatter the glass beads. Blew in the port after to remove dust and could use it again. Such a relief

      Glad you managed to get rid of them.

      I did the same. Used the tweezers you get from iFixit with really sharp points. Think it was more the stabbing action that did it than the tweezers themselves: any other really sharp thing would have done it.

      It's safer than a drill for sure 👍🏻

      Hello. With plastic I would try to poke it with a red hot needle. It might just get glued to it and you slowly pull it out.

    I'm not an expert,but maybe a vacuum cleaner would do the thing even faster.

      Nope, I don't think so, as they were stuck really tight in there.
