Here's what I did in a similar situation (speaker jack broke off inside). If you can't get it out with tweezers, heat up a thin nail with a lighter for about 30 seconds. Use pliers to push it inside the stuck jack (inside should be plastic, so it melts and goes in). Then wait for a minute. It will cool and harden and you can pull out he pin and the broken jack with it.

It took a few times heating it up; I used a safety pin, and finally got my wife to NOT touch if for a full minite, LOL, and it worked. It pulled the thing apart, leavig part of the tip in, but it was hollow, and I popped it out with the safety pin.

Good evening. My connex slim book just switched off and now won't switch back on. The powerbutton isn't working and the power light doesn't go on even though its on charger.

I have no clue what to do. Please help!
