Thats not very good. I really don't know what to suggest besides taking it to an Apple Store or calling Apple. I've never heard of that happening...

DO NOT DO THIS

Hi,

I agree 100% with themacko.

If it were me, I might try taking a flat-headed pin or small tack, very lightly moistening the top with fast acting superglue, attaching it to the piece still inside the 'book (if the break was flat enough), and in an hour, slowly trying to pull it straight out.

>>YOU SHOULD NOT DO THIS!<< I'm simply thinking aloud what I would be tempted to do myself, because I'm nutty like that.

Talking IT WORKED

Thanks for the superglue tip.
I used the old broken plug, used superglue and voila.
I am very happy that i don't have to send it to apple.
Sometimes you have to take a chance

Wow, you learn a new MacGyverism everyday. I'm glad it worked!
