Hi.
My problem is that the tip of my headphone is stuck inside the jack so my laptop thinks there is a headphone plugged in. My sound thus is not working. I have tried many things such as trying to use my drivers which won't open and trying to manually remove the broken piece. If anybody happens to know how to either 1. seperate speakers and headphones so in sound its not Speaker/Headphones 2. Know how to make both internal speaker and headphones work at once or 3 completly dissable jack detection it would be greatly appreciated if you told me how.

Hi
Sorry to say that the way your computer detect the presence of the jack is by mechanism. So, unfortunately, you must remove the tip by hand. You can either disamble your notebook (if you're an experienced user) or simple bring it to repair shop.
If you want to do it without remove the cover, you can use the following tips (with your own risk)
1. prepare a small but rigid plastic rod (not larger than the broken jack
2. put some power glue (just to cover the surface of the rod) on the tip of the rod
3. carefully, attach and hold the rod to the broken tip. You may want to hold it up to 5 minutes for a fixed results.
4. carefully pull them out.
The baseline is to attached and glued the helping rod to the broken tip and pull it out.
Best regards,

Ow...so I think the last thing you should do is open the cover or service it. If you dare, open by your self and your own risk and find the audio jack house. And who knows you can remove the tip. But I suggest you go to service centre or trusted repairment store.
Best regards,

Have you tried this method with power glue? It should lasts 2 hrs before you pulled it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMs10BOIN9k
