Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
That's a tough one, I'd think you'd need a pretty strong magnet to pull out a plug that's snapped in.
The only thing I can think of off hand would be to use a very tiny drill bit to drill into it and hopefully get it stuck on the bit so you pull it out. Even if it doesn't get stuck you might be able to get a slightly larger bit, tap it into the drill hole to get it stuck and then pull it out. That assumes a drill, and some tiny bits though.
I have a painful visit to Fryes in my future. I need a phone and an extra handset, a hub, and I've just discovered my take everywhere camera (Powershot SD400) is broken front and back.
Anyone have a suggestion a small and durable camera I can toss into my purse without needing a hard-sided case?
If you were skilled in soldering you could solder a thin wire to the plug and pull it out.
On hold w/ Applecare now. They suggested tweezers, which I already tried. Maybe I just need better tweezers.
Oh, nice, Gud! If that one feels good in the hand and passes the purse test, it's a serious contender.
Jessica-
It is probably not possible for you to get your hands on tissue forceps or a hemostat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemostat) is it? I think they would work, but I only have access because I am in a school of Nursing
Hee! Sophia, if I can't get this sorted out on my own, I'll ask my mom to snag me a pair from the hospital she works at.
Glad to see Gudanov helped MM. I was going to suggest using WordpressMU because it allows having multiple blogs in the single MySQL database.
ita ... why on earth are you fooling around with Vista? It is utter, utter, utter crap! If you want to fool around with a new OS, try Ubuntu 8.04. Seriously.
Does anyone know anything about SalvageData Recovery Lab Inc. or Drive Savers Data Recovery or have another rec for data salvage? I've got and ancient Mac Color Classic that I honestly don't remember why I wanted the data off of it but 20th-century-me thought it was important and now i've got this dead-to-dying external harddrive that has some data I don't need but would like to get back if it isn't too expensive so I might try to get both recovered. I've been given to understand that it's pricey, but ihave no sense of what order of magnitude that is. Can someone enlighten me so I don't have to do the talking to strangers thing?
And if anyone knows why Stellar Phoenix would crash as soon as I ask it to scan the logical drive it has found (which is on the dead-to-dying hard drive), that would be good to know.
