Rca centre pin snapped off and stuck in rca socket

Hi there,one of my rca centre pins has snapped off and is stuck in the rca socket and I can't for the life of me figure how to ge the damned thing out!!!!!

It is on one of my Pioneer CDJ800's (original,not MKII). I opened it up to see if I could get in from the back but no joy  =o(  ........Is there any possible way of getting the bugger out? or will I have to buy the whole unit inside which has both the audio and digital sockets on it.

Any tips and hints would be greatly appreciated.
                                       Kind regards,Lochlan

Is there any amount of it sticking out of the socket?  If so, you can possibly use a FRESH carrot, or other "hard" vegetable, mush like you would with a light bulb that has broken with the contact end still in the socket.

If you open the casing, you may be able to use a small pin to push the metal out through the center hole (if there is a hole and it's not a sealed connection on the interior of the unit)

Next thing is to find some small needle nose pliers, or a precision screwdriver, the idea here is to apply pressure to the sidewall of the pin that is stuck (from the outside of the machine)

If you have pictures of how it is stuck, that would help.  Just email them to [email protected]

Everything works normally if watching cable but if I change input to DVD there is no sound now (recent problem). It seems to be the RCA audio inputs that aren't working (no sound from DVD or VCR). Tried...

The phono-sockets, aka RCA sockets have a female pin in the center.
Sometimes, these tube-shaped metal pins become stretched or oxidized, causing loss of contact.
Option 1:
The easiest quick-fix you can try is to briefly squirt the socket and cord-plug with Servisol or similar evaporating contact-cleaner, then repeatedly twist, push and pull the plug in and out to 'scrub' the potentially oxidized surface.
If that doesn't work, option 2 is possible if your sockets are open at the back of each socket, ie: not sealed / molded types.
Option 2:
Unplug power, remove cover, locate phono sockets.
If center pins can be seen from rear, try crimping slightly with needle-nosed pliers, or use a dart point or pen-knife to 'push' the pin-barrel slightly closed.
Testing:
Make a test-cord with plug removed, connect an AV audio source temporarily by hand to the suspect socket's connectors, observing polarity of center and screen.
If molded plugs are suspect, try levering pin-barrel more closed from front end if possible, or if totally kaput, renew sockets.

have you got the power wires running down one side and the rca's down the other

or you can goto an electronics store and buy an rca noise suppresser

Calibration gets stuck in a loop

Hello.

Do a soft or hard reset (pin in back of PDA; pin in back of PDA and front silver button simultaneously).

If not, what worked for me is to take the PDA apart, if you are comfortable. There are 4 screws in the back. Remove them. With a knife, flathead screwdriver or other flat object, pry open the back. A few plastic pieces may fall out, tho. Note where they connect. Disconnect and then reconnect the power adapter. Put the plastic pieces and the back of the PDA together. The back should snap in place. Insert the 4 screws. Should work OK, again. Use this method if the adapter is not charging very well and the soft / hard reset doesn't work. I've had to perform this many times. Good luck.

Rca d52w19 forgot where brown and blue wires plug in!!!! help!!!

if it has a "dummy" pin then it can only go one way

if its brown/blue its normally the mains input so it will work or not

try taking off the connector and see if anything has snapped off , should be easy to tell if you got it right.

Record from tape deck to computer via USB and Audacity software

Im not sure what DIN sockets you're trying to describe here, but quite often, you can record from a tape player to a pc by connecting an rca cable to an adaptor; rca to 1/8"(headphone pin) and then plugging that headphone pin in to the microphone input on your computer.

The little green light on charger goes off when i plug it into Dell Inspiron 6400, the charger works fine

Unplug the battery from the laptop and then plug the AC adaptor into the laptop. If the green light still goes off then your motherboard is shorting out the adaptor and the motherboard needs to be replaced.
