    I've just gone and dropped my laptop! :( Part of the damage was the headphones that were plugged in at the time, the 3.5mm plug has bent and it's connector has broken. Is this repairable? They're not expensive, about 40 quid worth, but I'd rather a repair as these things have lasted me longer than any other pair, they're practically indestructable (practically :p ).

    Here's a pic of the damage.

    Yup, you can get a new connector in Maplin and the likes. Cut off the old one and solder new one on

    Great! I was hoping that would be the answer, I have access to a soldering iron in work. Thanks for the quick response. Now just gotta get a replacement power connector for the laptop and solder that too :(
