[DJ OJ]

I don't know if it is a jack or whatever, but it is the thing you pug into the jack at the end of head pho nes, well that got bent on the plane. A kid at school said i could fix it, but does not know how. Help Onagishimas ( I think that is how you spell it in romaji ) Thanks!

eh?

How bent are talking? New headphones go for as cheap at 10 bucks and that's the likely situation for you.

Oh sorry. These were kinda expensive head*****s ( FOR ME ) and to replace them is going to really not going to be fun.

I assumed you were talking about iPod headphones..

There is much you can do though. Bend it back?

I recommend pliers. Or should that be puraiars.
With a piece of cloth over the jaws of course.

does it not work anymore? does it not fit in anything? how bent is it? if it's pretty badly bent, i don't think you can do anything about it. if you don't want it showing maybe you can buy a headphone extender (assuming the bent end still works). You could also solder a new jack on...

Not iPod head*****s, some big sony thingys. About $30 dollars, but for me that is alot. I is pretty bent. It goes into jakcs but not all the way and does not work

Find someone who knows how to use a soldering iron.

You can get a new plug for about $2 at Radio Shack. Then, you can cut the old plug off (right at the end of the wire), and solder the new plug onto the wire. It's simple. Should only take 5 minutes start to finish if the person is good with a soldering iron. Done lots of this myself.

The problem, is that few people are experience with a soldering iron anymore. Repairing stuff has become a lost art for many. I repair stuff all the time. But, most people just throw stuff away.

That sucks about your phones. Hope you can repair it.

Pliers, bro.
