HELP!! MacBook Pro - Strange one!!

Hi guys

I am new here and desperate for some advice.

Part of my headphone jack has broken off inside the port and remains in there.

Is this going to be a costly new motherboard job or can this be simply repaired??

Any advice really appreciated.

Many thanks.

Your title..."HELP!! Macbook Pro - Strange one!!" Not really so strange...it's happened before. Is there any part of it hanging out that you might be able to grab it with a pair of small pliers...or a pointy pair of tweezers? If not...it's pretty hard to get out.
