The tip of the head phones broke off in port, how can I get it out?
Can I take the back off to access the head phone port? I need to get the broken tip of the head phones out.
Is this a good question?

tmermini, You may not have to disassemble your device. Insert a small straw(pen refill ink tube) first to guard the inner walls of jack. Then a small drop of super glue on the blunt end of tooth pick. insert tooth pick while glue still wet onto the end of jack tip. Let cure/set, then gently pull out tooth pick/straw with pin attached. See links below for more info., last link is to Samsung disassembly guides, just select your model at the link if needed. Good luck. I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button.

I have never tried this, but I do have an idea. Get a paper clip and straighten it out some. Place a very small amount of super glue on the end and try to attach it to the broken piece in the jack. Just be very careful not to get glue on the jack walls. let it cure for a bit and see if it is strong enough to pull it out. Good luck. Otherwise, yes, you will have to pull it apart and likely replace the jack assembly.
