Laptop Headphone Jack Repair

Right today a music enthusiast managed to break their headphone jack off into the port on the side of the laptop. After many attempts to remove it externally with various tools an getting no where fast a different approach was needed. The tip of the headphone jack where it had broke off was slight raised and wasn't flush with the laptop casing.

Internally I was able to get behind the tip of the headphone jack and put enough pressure on the part which was exposed to slide it out another couple of millimetres. This then allowed the use of some very thing pliers to fully remove the broke jack. Rather strange laptop repair so I thought it was worthy a blog.
