Broken Headphone Connecter in Mixer

So I have managed to break my headphones 1/8 to 1/4" connecter in my XONE:62, about the first 2 milimeters of it is stuck in my mixer at the bottom of the headphone jack. I have tryed and looked for many things to try and get it out, but no luck, can't seem to find pliers that are thin and long enough to fit into that port...

Any suggestions are appreciated!

cry?

no, just get a long thin thing like a bamboo kabob skewer and put a tiny dot of super glue on the end, be really careful and put it down teh jack till it hits the broken adapter then when the glue sets, pull the whole lot out.

or take it to your DJ store and get them to take it out for you.

I had thought about doing something like that, but was a bit hesitant to try it...

Another one

Take the faceplate off, push the jack out. Avoid that glue thing, I never heard anything so stupid and dodgy at the same time. Screwdriver FTW.
