Broken charger stuck in camera

[101gdn1]

I have a Google Nest Camera, and the charger broke off and is stuck in the housing because of the magnet. There is nothing sticking out to grab, so the only thing I can think of is to find a stronger magnet to suck it out. 

Any better ideas?

Hi @101gdn1 

Hot glue possibly?? Glue a stick to the broken part to pull on when the glue sets?? 

Can you grab it at all with small pliers/tweezers etc?

Nothing to grab. Glue is probably a good starting point. It's just that the surface is quite smooth and the magnet pretty strong. 

I was just wondering if there were any other proven ways of getting it out.

Yep, let's see if any other other community members can offer ideas for this!

Hi @101gdn1,

Thanks for posting in the community. I understand that the charger tip of your Nest Camera broke off and is stuck in the camera's housing due to the magnetic connection. Since nothing is protruding to grab, you're unable to remove it. You're wondering if a stronger magnet could be used. I appreciate the information you've shared. No worries, I'd be more than glad to assist you with this. To help with that, I have some questions:

• How did the charger tip break off? Were you actively plugging it in, unplugging it, or did it happen while the charger was stationary in the port?
• Could you please share a picture of the camera's charging port with the broken piece inside?

@JillG, thank you for your contribution.

Any additional details you can provide will be helpful.

Regards,
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan - I was taking the charger out.

I have a photo, but apparently I don't have permission to upload images.
