donno to who i'm replying ..... should put your name on your post .... anyway , I saw your pic , doesn't seem very clear thou , but I think it is simply a cheater cord you need to replace , they sold them at usual electronic outlet anywhere , and is quite cheap . there are different configuration at the end , where it gets into the unit (some have a square shape at one end of the block (cheater end) , other end is round , some are round at each ends , some having a recess in the middle of the cheat connector too , etc (depends if for Sony , Technics , Sanyo , etc etc) on your pic , it seems that a piece has stay there , connected to the cheat ....... cannot see very clear , and shouldn't be there ... (should be a deep cheat , with 2 pins inside) Gaetan Bourgouin Techno Logik Terrebonne Que.
