    • Hold the screwdriver tip inside the clogged port for 3 - 5 minutes.

    • Using a wrench to hold the screw driver, use a hammer to keep weight on the screwdriver.

    • This allows the screwdriver to melt through any plastic from the RCA male plug and reach the metal tip inside the port.

    • Remove the pin when it has bonded to the screwdriver.
