Here's what I did: The yoyo cord had a little rubber locking knob. 
Mine was all the way to the jack. I never knew you could move it, so 
every time I locked my cord in place it stressed the cord-jack 
connection. Finally it began sparking. I took it to a Genius Bar and 
the jack came off in the Apple guy's hand.
