Microphone PINs look broken - RandomUser123 - Jul 19, 2017
Hello, my msi ge62 7re apache pro has 2 jack inputs: a mic one and an headphone one.
Today i put my headphone's jack in the mic one for it's first time, and i didn't feel the click it should do.
So i took a flash and looked into the door, and i saw this: (headphone on the left and mic on the right)

Is it ok for the pin to be like this? What shall I do? Should I try to get it back myself? PC has warranty (it's very new), it would just upset me a little bit to get it replaced and reinstall everything, even tho i risk it to make a short-circuit if the pins moves and touches the others..
Help me

Does the fallen pin move or is it stuck? I'd try to take the tiny pin out and then plug in a microphone to see if it works. However, I always thought the microphone jack and headphone jack basically used the same connector length and diameter.

I thought the same. The point i still have warranty on this very new pc. Moving myself the pin may make it break..
