Getting your phone to work with a broken or stuck Popsocket can be tricky. Follow these steps to fix it yourself. First, remove the cap completely. Then, fit the funnel back on the base. It’s important to note that the funnel won’t lock into place immediately after removing it from the phone. Once the cap is back on the phone, the Popsocket should work like new.
Remove a popsocket
In order to remove a pop socket, you must first unplug the device. This can be done by pulling the device’s base away from the pop socket itself. The base will peel off when you apply pressure to it. Using a dental floss thread, you can get under the base to remove any excess glue or pop socket adhesive. Another option is to catch the phone and pull the pop socket out with your thumb.
To unplug the phone, you can run a tap under the base of the popsocket. Be careful because the water will dilute the adhesive. Do not use too much water because this may prolong the time it takes to dry and make it easier to remove. Once you are finished, you can place the phone back into the popsocket. But be sure to dry the base thoroughly and make sure it is completely dry before reattaching it to the phone.
The first step is to push the fingernail underneath the base of the popsocket. Then gently pull it out. Be careful not to torque it or you may break the base. You should be able to see the base of the popsocket pop up. This will be the easiest way to remove a pop socket. If you don’t have a flat-head screwdriver, use your fingernail to do this.
Remove a broken popsocket
If you need to remove a popsocket, you should first look at the cap. This part sits on the base, and it is connected to the base by a funnel. You can remove the cap by twisting it and tightening it, or you can simply rotate it to lock it in place. This way, you can easily remove a broken popsocket. After that, you need to remove the funnel and replace it.
Once you have separated the two pieces of the pop socket, you will need to gently pry them apart. To do this, make sure to push your fingernails under the base of the socket. If you do this incorrectly, you might break the top half of the pop socket. You should be able to push the base out gently. If it is stuck, you can pull it apart from its base.
Another way to remove a broken PopSocket is to push it down on the phone’s base. Some popsockets come with enlarged tops, so you’ll need to gently push them down. They may also separate from their bases. You can also try putting your fingernails on the top and pulling it away. If this does not work, try using a dental floss to fit underneath the base.
Remove a sticky popsocket
If you’ve accidentally attached a sticky popsocket to your phone, you may be wondering how to get it off. It is easy to remove, but you’ll want to make sure you’re not damaging your phone by trying to remove it too early. Here are a few tips to follow. The first thing you should do is remove the phone case and popsocket from the same surface. If the phone case is water resistant, you can apply a special silicone coating to keep the device from getting damaged. Then, wipe the phone with a dry paper towel and let it dry. Once it is completely dry, you can try to reattach the phone to the popsocket.
Next, you should lay the PopSocket on a table. You should make sure it doesn’t touch the other surface or linen. Then, you should gently peel the platform from the device. Be careful not to overdo it, since the sticky substance may dry out and be permanently attached to the device. After 15 minutes, you can carefully lift it out of the device. Afterwards, you can use a toothbrush to clean it or a cotton swab to get rid of the sticky residue.
Alternatively, you can run the sticky popsocket base under cold water for about three seconds. Be careful not to soak it with too much water, because this will prolong the drying process and ruin the stickiness. Once you’re done with this, you can place the sticky popsocket back on your phone, but make sure to leave it out for at least 15 minutes before doing so. Otherwise, the adhesive will lose its stickiness and become unusable.
