A buggered quarter inch jack.
Irritating.
I remember someone telling me about some of his leads being used to jump start a car.
It didn't end well.
i've just managed to overcome my intention tremor enough to fish the fecker out with superglue, saving totally dismantling a three tier circuit board to replace the jack socket <it's on the bottom tier>.
i'm feeling rather pleased with myself now.

You didn't specify that in the original rant.
I was basing it on the principal that 1/4" jacks are used in audio - particularly headphones and guitars.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment
