Yoga 2 usb plastic pin broke off.

Today I took my laptop out of my backpack and the usb devinder/plastic middle part was a little outstrestred. I've tried to put my phone in the usb port but ithe plastic devinder broke off. So the usb port is working, but whitout the plastic part you could not use the usb port because of short circuit. 
It looks like:

Maybe this can be still classified as a material defect, because the plastic divider shouldn't be so weak unless it received some serious impact. I suggest contacting your vendor and check whether this can be repaired under standard warranty or not.

  • TS3274 how to fix headphone pin broke off in ipad

    how to fix headphone pin broke off in ipad?

     I just got it out! First, I unplugged everything and put the desktop on a table. Then,  I took 2 thin bobby pins and took the painted round tips off with a pair of pliers. I did this because my tweezers couldn't fit in there. I gently worked a pin on the top and one on the bottom of the piece that was stuck. Then I wiggled it forward, and put the pieces back into place when they slipped out. Finally, it wiggled out!! This all took about 10 minutes.

  • IPod Hifi optical cable pin broke into outlet

    I used an optical cable with a plastic adapter to connect to iPod HiFi. While moving the box the pin broke into the outlet. I tried hard using a fine gripper but no chance. Any ideas how to get it out to be able to connect a new cable ?
    I think this is poor design of Apple HiFi as optical cables are often made of plastic that can not handle the forces. Other devices like Apple TV (HiFi was connected with it) use less mechanically sensitive (square) optical outlet.
    iPod HiFi Apple TV   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    The HiFi is designed to use 3.5mm connectors (which is what broke off in yours) and can be used with Toslink cables with an adapter, primarily for connecting to an Airport Express or a computer. The type of connector you are referring to would not work in the above situation. In my opinion it is overkill to use the Toslink cables anyway unless all your music is in AIFF. 128 AAC doesn't need it.
    I'd look for any local stereo repair place and take it to them. I'm sure they have lots of experience removing broken connectors.
    Incidentally, it is a user error to move an audio device with a fragile adapter connected to it.

  • Dropped my canon rebel t4i,broke off canon symbol under flash is there anyway to fix this???

    dropped my canon rebel t4i camera,broke off canon symbol just under flash hard plastic piece.Is there anyway to fix this???

    Depending on the extent of the damage (and if you're sure that's all it is) then Canon service likely can pop on a new part. 
    BUT... parts don't necessarily break down to the component level you and I might imagine.  I've heard of people needing a new "dial" on the camera and what they have to get is a whole new top-assembly (not just the one little bit that they need.)
    The only way to know is for you to contact Canon service.  I'm not sure if you can get a price quote over the phone.  You may have to send it in.  The only way to know is to call.

  • Dropped Lacie 250 Gig -- Power plug broke off. Help!

    It happens to the best of us. I accidently knocked my 250 gig Lacie Hardrive off my desk and it fell on the ground. The male power plug with 4 prongs broke off inside the female portion of the plug. In other words, the female part of the power plug in the Lacie drive where you insert the power plug is broken because the power plug prongs broke off the male power cord and are stuck inside.
    I have no idea what to do. Can I fix this power plug? Can I pull out the metal prongs that are stuck inside the female part and buy a new power cord? Do I need to pull ou the hard drive and buy a new Lacie case? I appreciate your help in advance. I can't believe I did this and I am hoping for a good solution.

    If I understand your situation correctly, you might be able to pull the broken pins out of the socket and buy a new power supply. I'm not sure which one you have, perhaps like this:
    http://www.lacie.com/us/products/product.htm?pid=10735
    Of course, something else may be broken inside from the fall, including the drive.
    You can identify parallel ATA/IDE drives by a large ribbon connector on the end, plus the 4 pin power connector. Serial drives have the power connector and a small single wire serial connector. My guess, if you have the common LaCie silver drive, is that it's a parallel.

  • A/c power plug broke off inside machine--how to repair

    my daughter's ibook g4 power supply plug broke off, it is inside the socket in the machine--what is the practical way to get this fixed, please?
    thanks--

    Hi there and welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Your question is not unique, as unfortunately some users have experienced
    some mishaps with their DC line-in plug (and socket) and so if you can
    get the broken piece out of the computer's DC-in socket, that would be a
    good thing. Sometimes a visit to a full service Apple Store (official) where
    a Genius bar exists, and you've called ahead for a specified time, a skilled
    person there may be able to figure out how to remove the broken end.
    Of course, a replacement power supply is generally needed, to restore
    the illuminated original plug with an identical part is almost impossible;
    though I have read about people getting a generic plug and managing
    to get the DC polarity correct (so as to not damage the computer.) But
    the best fix would be to get a new replacement Apple power adapter.
    Getting the broken "pin" section of the AC Adapter's DC plug out of
    the computer is the larger concern; since the socket itself may be
    damaged if this isn't done properly. Or it may have been damaged
    by the action that caused the plug to be broken in the first place.
    There are several posts in these Discussion forums, the iBook G4
    and G3 (white) and PowerBook G4 models use a similar power setup;
    so finding replies already posted is not hard.
    In fact, I replied to one such post and so searched back and found
    the URL to a question and replies. Note mine is near the end of this:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3126597
    And the quoted text in that post is from one of the links in the post.
    (It is not mine; to clarify what appears to be an edited four letter word.)
    The blue letters in the post are links to outside web sites; I am not
    sure of the total validity of their content and they only serve to show
    someone has tried some ideas and they may have had adequate
    results from them; and that's about as far as I'd go. They're worth a look.
    [Another set of posts (by user name) regarding this question
    and out-of-warranty repair options, etc with the DC-in board
    and power plug damage, among others, would be those by
    an experienced iBook user in these boards, Rhonda.]
    Best of luck to you and happy computing!

  • My charger broke off in my iPad mini how do i get it out

    my charger broke off in my ipad mini.. how do i get it out or where can i bring it to fix it

    The tweezers are a good idea. just don't go digging to the point that you may scratch the case. Because, unfortunately, if you do and if you have any issues with the port in the future,  those scratches may be enough to void any warranty coverage.
    A delicate touch is what's needed.

  • Do you have to down load from the internet using apple's recover partition, every time you need to do a clean install? or can you make a copy of Mt Lion onto a USB stick and install off that?

    Do you have to down load Mountain Lion from the internet every time you need to do a clean install? or can you make a copy of Mt Lion onto a USB stick and install off that?
    Thanks

    Yes you can make a USB stick of Lion or Mt Lion. Use Lion Disk Maker after you download OS X from the internet.
    For Lion you have to point the download to an external drive and watch when it completes and reboots the system to start the install disconnect the external. If you bought Mt Lion from the Mac App Store then you can download it from there and just cancel the install when it comes up on the desktop.
    If you are downloading from the Recovery HD or from the Online Internet Recovery system, slightly different then the built in Recovery HD, then again you need to point it to an external drive and discoonect that drive when the system reboots to start the real install.
    Then use Lion disk maker to create either a DVD disc or USB thumb of the install files.

  • HP Pavilion P6-2220t. All security USB connections are shut off in BIOS. Need to turn on.

    I was told that all of the Security USB connections was shut off in the BIOS. The only controls for this PC is USB ports for the mouse and keyboard control ect.  How can I get into the bios without the keyboard and mouse in operation? There is no other way to control this model computer. The only connections on this PC is USB connections only. Again If I can, somehow get get into the BIOS I can turn the Security USB connections on as they should be.

    Hi Big_Dave,Yes the ALL security USBs in the Bios are in fact shut off. I saw it done in front of me.The person was trying to install Windows 7  but the usbs in the bios stopped workingeach time he tried the install the software. He thought that shutting off the securityUSB in bios would stop the security only and allow windows to be installed. He thensaw that all the security USBs in bios had completely shut down the usb connectionscompletely. I didn't know that is what he actually done until he went through with meand told me everything that he had done step for step with me. Then it dawned onme that was in fact what I saw him do. Anyway the Security USBs are all shut off.Money is hard to come by here so it will remain disabled until someone can walk methrough getting it turned on somehow without working usb connections. I refurb.laptops but not PC desktops like this one. This is new to me also. I think I will stick torebuilding laptops after we figure out how to get into the back door or find a way tohelp[ him fix this problem if I can. Anyway thank you for your input into this problem.

  • Part of my power adapter broke off in powerbook power point!

    i unplugged the power adapter from the powerbook and the male end has broke off and stuck in the powesupply hole. so wedged in, is there any safe ways to fix it? never opened up my powerbook and had a looksy.... :[

    I've done this once. Some have suggested putting a drop of superglue onto the tip of a small stick (like a toothpick) and carefully touching it to the broken tip.
    I had success heating a small glob of solder to a small wire with my soldering iron, and touching it to the broken tip, then removing the iron quickly. I held the wire with tweezers. One has to be careful in any event to not touch the outer hole with glue or solder.
    Naturally you remove the battery first. Access to the power jack isn't much better when the computer is opened.

  • My headphone jack is stuck in my ipod and broke off. What do I do to get it out?

    My ipod touch 4th Gen was working fine until I dropped it and the headphones broke off completely at the tip, so the jack is completely stuck, and I cant get it out with tweezers or anything. I might take it to the Apple store, but would they be able to do anything.

    FIXED... Installed my OCZ 60GB SSD into my master PC external bay. Went to disk management. Saw 3 partitions. 1.8GB (Recovery)/46GB/8.5GB (Recovery) DELETED the 8.5GB partition. (I know this was the new one created by pressing "0".) Right clicked on the 46GB partition and made it "active". Put the OCZ back into the netbook. It boot right back into Windows desktop successfully. SAVED.

       Hello,
    My mom dropped my laptop and the charging piece that goes into the computer broke off IN the computer.   Should I try and use pliers to pull it out, and then buy a new one?  

    You have to take the computer to the Apple store to have it fixed.
    Best.
