One of the prongs of my audio connector broke inside the input, as you can see. The white thing in the red input is the prong. I've tried using super glue to attach to the prong, then remove it, but it's not a strong enough bond to hold. Any ideas? Maybe I should try threading a hole through the middle then pulling it out? lol

Crack her open and maybe you can push from the back

Nice; now it's probably glued in place.
Small needle nose pliers, or a hook tool with barbed end, perhaps. Otherwise take off back panel and push it out. Even superglued in, you should be able to remove after disassemble.

hot fish hook and stick it in, let cool pull uot
Drill a hole and put in a screw, then pull it out. Not sure they make screws that small though.
Heat a needle, jam it in and pull the pin out.
Worst-case is you have to replace the jack. It's going to be a standard part.

Push it in even further, let it drop into the chassis and maybe it will find its way out again.

I'm sure they have small self-tappers at the local hardware store #0 is 1/8", same diameter as the RCA plug. Otherwise, OP is cracking open the case.
Also, RCA's? It's 2017, get with the times!

Correction #0 is 1/16", #5 is 1/8"

RCA is very much a standard for unbalanced stereo inputs.
Aren't RCA pins metal and hollow?

Only the cheap ones anon.

>Are you people fucking retarded? Do you really think that thing is in tight enough to resist the torque of a drill, and a screw?
I may be retarded, but at least I can read.

You're cordially invited to eat a dick.
Push it through.

Had this happen before with a headphone jack.
I took a pair of very small needle nose pliers, and was able to shave them down to where they could fit in it. I was lucky, a tiny bit of the jack protruded from the piece jammed, just giving me enough of it to grab and pull out,

They make them that small
how did this even happen?
as far as pushing it through, 50/50 shot.
some rca jacks are bottomless, some have stoppers to ensure good connection.
you're better off disassembling the unit

What the actual fuck does that have to do with there being no where near enough friction between the pin and the socket to allow you to drill a hole, or screw a screw into an untapped fucking hole? If you're implying that OP has superglued the pin in, then guess what fuckwad, YOU WONT BE ABLE TO PULL IT OUT WITH A SCREW.
> You're cordially invited to eat a dick.
I'll evaluate that option IF you manage to remove it from your eye socket. If the drivel you're spitting is anything to go by, it's wedged in good and deep.
