HOW TO FIX Broken lightning charger stuck in iPad or iPhone

[@travisanderson2516]

Just wanted to say thanks for this. My daughter broke her end off in her iPhone 6 Plus. Her world ended. I've seen many methods involving super glue and I was afraid of making things worse. Imagine my fear when I came across your method. I decided to go for it and twist the bit with my hand at first and gave it a pull. Just as you said, there is definitely some grip. I pulled out the drill and went very slow, but even with the grip it would not come out. I decided to try one more time, but instead of pulling straight out, I pulled at an angle and a couple of seconds later, the tip flew out. Plugged a good cable in and the iPhone was charging. No damage! Thank you so much, my daughter got her best friend back...sad I know.

Travis Anderson I had the same feeling that the glue may stick to the inside and would mean sending it away :-)

Tweezers are the best way to remove broken phone charger piece in phone

[@DavidSacker]

Thanks Mark. My wife's world ended after a charger tip broke off in her iPad Pro. She worked it with a clip and hot-glue, but what eventually worked for her were two push-pins that she stuck into it. Popped right out. However, I think her efforts with the clip and hot-glue dislodged it a little bit. And she prayed. 😆

Tried all my small pick tools with no luck. Got out my smallest drill bit and it worked a treat. The first couples of times it slipped out, but I finally pulled it on an angle as someone else commented and that worked. Thanks!

[@pmcg6691]

Worked with drill on my sons ipad so tried it on my wife's ipad where her headphone Jack got stuck in the port for months. Also worked. Thanks for the video. Delighted with that result.

[@azaddosky5680]

Thank you very much It worked perfectly. Great Video

[@sonniboi7383]

Thank you so much!! My brother broke his IPad with a charger just now and he's getting in trouble for telling the truth. He never broke it and my family doesn't know who or what did it.

[@althe4564]

SoNNi BoI My brother broke his too. I hope your worked

[@teachferrer]

Thank you. It didn't work perfectly for me but the drilling shook things up enough for me to be able to use a paperclip and tiny screw driver to finish clearing the debris. Very helpful vid!

[@stephanietsaylevick3337]

THANK YOU!! This totally worked for us in less than 5 minutes (most of the minutes were spent looking for our drill). Safety pins didn't do anything for us and we were too nervous to use glue. Thank you so much for the solve!!

[@ranversoor2689]

Just watched your video, and the same thing happened to me , with the charger tip breaking in the port , I tried tweezers and hair pins/ needles but had no joy. I just drilled the tip out ,as in your video and behold ... it came out a treat! Just wanted to say a huge thank you for taking the time out and sharing your knowledge . Bless you .

[@charlestsirovasiles1354]

Thank you SO much!!! It worked! My family and I really appreciate you taking the time to post this video. You made our night!

[@vhstv8440]

Tried all the methods including attempting the super glue trick. Then followed your method and after about 7 or 8 failed attempts my drill bit snapped. I then used the broken drill bit in my fingers to scrape out the plastic “guts” of the cable end and nearly gave up until finally the small metal casing popped out. Thanks! My iPad repair only cost me $3 for a new 1/16 drill bit.

[@kristywalker834]

Thank you Mark. It worked for me. Your method was spot on and maybe now we can get our trade-in value.

[@scotthames6634]

Totally worked! Mine was very deep but it eventually came out in pieces and works fine. Thank you!!

[@tomolandry]

100% working ... thank you so much. I knew the solution in another context but would never have dared to do it with an ipad charging socket... thanks for showing ;)

[@robsalas54]

Thanks for this video! It saved me a trip to Apple, which I despise. Much appreciated from a Team Android guy!

[@Blueberry_Butterfly7]

Tysm! I broke my iPad charger and I panicked when it didn’t come out so tysm! Worked rlly well!

[@jhwardensfamily]

I was nervous doing this but being gentle I was able to get that piece out without damaging the main unit. It’s currently charging! 😊👍 Thank you!

[@shannonstreed6849]

Thank you!!! This saved me money and a trip to the Apple store. I used a 1/16th bit and it worked beautifully

[@user-xe5on2us5z]

[@karihowry2396]

THANK YOU!!!! this absolutely worked. I was nervous about damaging the port but it was fine. my bit did not stay in the end piece like yours, but it did pull it out enough to pull it out with my fingers. God bless Dremel and your video!!

[@thanuk1]

Kari Howry how

[@Oneness100]

What size drill bit did you use? I'm afraid to use the wrong size bit.

[@vikramrsolanki]

Excellent idea.. It took less than a min to be fixed.. Thank you Sir for sharing this video, it saved alot of time and money too..

[@JesusIsGodsSelfie]

A tip from your viewers saying Nail clippers worked- pulled mine out first go. Thanks for making this video and to Your viewers comments that worked for me before I could find drill. Cheers

[@n4t4c4h0]

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!! I was having a heart attack and.... KZbin FIXES EVERY THING!!!

[@lindamanzella288]

Just want to say thank you so much!! This worked perfectly 😄 all other advice I found (using a needle, safety pin, tweezers, nail clippers) nothing worked so thanks again,

[@joansorrentino7745]

Amazing. The nail Clippers worked. I tried so many things. So happy I found this video

[@martyreifenstein8586]

Thank you! Worked perfectly!

[@PSU_Dude]

Thank you for this tutorial. I also used a dab of super glue on the end of the drill bit after drilling the hole.

[@BL-lh1mi]

Brilliant! Worked like a charm! Thank you!

[@LeeLayTV]

The only suggestion that worked! In less than a minute mind you! Thanx a bunch!

[@punkxster91]

[@julesgrac3]

[@mackenzieduranrueda6636]

OMG THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME

[@slixoslish]

FHDKHFJDH ME TOO-

[@naimboutros1939]

I read about this and other methods and tried them. Eventually, l had to also use the drill, luckily, l have a hoppyist drill kit so it was handy and safer, Great video

[@shaunhorn4378]

This was the only thing that worked. Good video.

[@handell35]

I took a drill bit and went at a slight angle for some leverage. Worked like a charm.

[@happyinapa]

Brilliant! Well done! Clear! Appreciated the recap at the end! Thanks!

[@teamrush6219]

Absolutely brilliant vid mark

[@karengetman5053]

Brilliant. Worked like a charm. Thank you so much!!!!!

[@devinchetra4374]

This is pretty good instruction thanks but I like to add you need to apply a lot of force and try to drag it out

[@6923666]

Thanks for your video, i twisted it by my fingers & i pulled it out , mission accomplished

[@internetescape2123]

This was an amazing vid really helped my son broke a charger and got stuck gonna get my husband to watch this vid

[@kevlarcenyent7606]

Is there anything for regular iPad mini chargers because umm my daughter had ripped it out and then is was stuck in there I can’t get it out

[@matthewdougherty9906]

Hey just a PSA...this is a great trick and works but BE CAREFUL. I messed this up last night and damaged the charging prongs. Be sure the drill bit is favoring the side without the charging prongs so you don’t damage them.

[@Ur-Zidane]

THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUSH

[@kaded_]

"glue could be risky" so instead you put a drill into your phone which could easily mangle the charging cords lol. Also, what width is that drill bit? I found 1/16 of an inch to be too big.

[@tylerjames2174]

Thank u so much I was stressing until I saw this

[@earthscapeben]

Thanks for the tip ! Worked perfectly !

[@j2of434]

What are the chances of breaking your I pad

[@rogeraylstock3641]

Worked for me although I ended up drilling at an angle then wiggled it back and forth until it came out. I used a small drill bit holder from my plastic modeling kit rather than a powered drill. More control that way.

[@jessicalim703]

Hi! This happened to me! I used small craft embroidery scissors to get in the side gap and get it it out. Don’t use glue!!

[@AustinAdams]

Thanks a lot sir... it worked! 👍🏼👍🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@cohobow]

This method worked for me as well.

[@karlhorn262]

Thank You from Germany

[@Jamick98Geass]

I didn’t have a drill bit small enough to fit in the iPhone port, so I took a framing nail and very carefully worked the piece of plastic out of the port and the small piece eventually fell out with enough prying.

[@samcurtis1984]

Will try this tomorrow. Charger snapped on my daughters iPad

[@hannahsmith-lo7pm]

Excellent vid. Very helpful

[@CuteNCozy1]

Tried this but it didn't work...the drill bit came right out. what did work was a safety pin. The combination of the super sharp point and angle/torque plucked that bugger right out. It came out in two pieces but it came out and still charges.

[@allychowp]

I broke mine and it’s stuck at 10 percent 😭😭😭😭

[@evangelinebentleyyxo2187]

Mines on1

[@zmith__yt9450]

OMG MARK I LOVE IT

[@bernardeducation]

I had the same problem and used a safety pin to dig the broken piece out.

[@OiinkiiPet]

bernardeducation thank you!! This just saved my sons ipad 🙏🏻

[@chanros]

Using the power drill kind of freaked me out, so I wanted to make this the last resort. Thankfully, there was enough to grasp with a tweezer.

[@zahirakhatoon1234]

Just to let you know that I have been working on the ipad to get the cable of
