Broken AV connector stuck inside input of [X] Device

[frase]

Had a friend whom had unfortunatly broken off the AV input inside the input of a PA system.
AV inputs are generally ceramic based within [or plastic on older inputs] and a metal casing outer.
These have a tendancy to break easily if force is appllied or stored incorrectly.

Rather than extract the mainboard, a simple solution

Bend a small needle or pin - I used one of those stickpins with a ball on the end

Bend it a bit to create a small barb - about 25 degrees - not a hook just something for it to bite

Using Pliers hold the pin - Heat the barbed end of the pin till it is red

Using Pliers push this into the end of the broken ceramic AV head of stuck component
Wait a few seconds - about 10.

Then pull out the Pin with pliers.
