Looking for simple ways to clean a headphone jack? You have come to the right place. Try these 3 easy ways to clean your headphone jack and drop us a line if it helped!
Air Can - Spray the air can three or four times into the headphone jack hole.
Q tip - Next thing I like to do is put a Q-tip in there gently. You'll see it's all fit in there and gently take that out and this should clean out most headphone jacks.
Paperclip Lint Roller - First, get a normal paper clip and a tiny piece of tape. (This method is a little more advanced, so be careful) Take a little strip of tape and put it on the bent out paper clip backwards, sticky side up, so it almost becomes like a little lint roller. Make sure it's secure and gently push the tape covered paperclip into the headphone jack. This should pull out whatever is remaining in there.

This is my first time commenting on a youtube video: I just wanted you to know your tape+paperclip suggestion solved my issue. There were compacted fibers (such as paper/laundry lint type) that got removed after a number of rounds of clearouts.

What is that trick?

@teejay2130 4 жыл бұрын

When doing the tape trick, start by wrapping it with sicky side touching the paper clip. Then fold and reverse rolling direction leaving sticky side facing out. Otherwise it can fall off in the phone, you can see in the video the tape is sliding off. Also turn off phone before sticking metal into it.

Followed this, more or less. Was getting sound in, but no sound out, on a plugin receiver I use to keep the phone away from my ear. (I'm sceptical about opinions that it is harmless having a transmitter capable of transmitting to a tower a kilometre away; jammed next to your brain). It's working again now. Good vid.

Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) should be fine, but don't use water or oil. Probably best to turn the phone off before, just as a precaution

My Bose desktop speaker headphone jack quit working properly, sometimes it'd work okay, other times I'd only get mono sound or only getting one speaker working. Blew inside of it & rolled a piece of paper towel up about size of q-tip & spun it around same direction I rolled it (as to not unwind it) & there was a tiny bit of dust some shiny (metal?) came out. Working fine now! :D
