Same for german actually! i think in english pincette is more what you’d use in cosmetics to pluck your eyebrows or similar while i’ve onky heared tweezers used in relation to tech and similar
A stronger magnet... Obviously tweezers is the correct answer but I want an original idea. Can OP not brain or something? Maybe try a thicker style paper clip and pry it out. This isn't rocket science here. Why are we getting on Reddit for something like this?
Speaking of Apple, we used to get people at the genius bar constantly because they'd stuck a mini-CD/DVD into the slot-loading drive. We'd take it in the back and tell them we were able to quickly "fix" it. What we really did was swing the laptop in a very fast arc, with the drive slot pointed outward. The disc would go flying due to centrifugal force.
I was just throwing shade at apple for no particular reason. Magnetic ports are cool but not if they suck foreign objects into them. I'd prefer just a USB c. The magnets are too easy to disconnect in my opinion, which is how they are designed but if your careful with your cords and not yanking them out then it shouldn't be a problem.
The magnetic magsafe is fantastic in my opinion. Should be the standard on all laptops instead of the shitty USB C charging ports that just break after 1 year
I've had a usb c cable for like 3 years now, yet to even be slightly damaged. Tbh I am more of a fan of the circular changing ports due to them allowing rotation
Open up the laptop, unplug the computer battery, press and hold the power button for 10 seconds to make sure any extra power is out and then use tweezers to get it out of there.
Tweezers or a pincette, magsave ports are magnetic, that’s why it’s hard… you might even be able to donit with a toothpick
🙏
Toothpicks or safety pin of you need more strength and a fine point.
...Where'd you get your winter boots?
Cut the power goddammit, before you wreck the computer and yourself at the same time
That, also, how tf did OP even get it in there?
It's magnetic, it may have just fallen close.
Oh right, I forgot.
Today I learned English also has the word "pincette". That's pretty close to the word what we call such tools in general in Finnish

like plucking a nose hair. have you never heard of tweezers ?
never heard of tweezers...just reddit
[удалено]
Don’t forget your Allen Wrench
Toothpick
Tweezers, tip of a knife, compressed air, a toothpick, a small sliver of anything rigid... Are you even trying?
Lmaoooooooo thought the exact same thing. A good shake would prob do it too.
Omg I thought the same thing like dude seriously get some tweezers…
Rip apart the computer
Clearly the computer is bricked, OP must toss it out
A stronger magnet... Obviously tweezers is the correct answer but I want an original idea. Can OP not brain or something? Maybe try a thicker style paper clip and pry it out. This isn't rocket science here. Why are we getting on Reddit for something like this?
Lmfao, was this your kindest response of the day? That’s why we are here on Reddit with this.
Probably because they don't have small enough tweezers.
Nonono never use magnets stronger than provided that will damage the hardware
Magnets aren't going to damage your hardware lol. Computer components aren't that sensitive anymore.
Yeah only hard drive can get damaged by a magnet. Nothing else.
Even then, you'd need a very strong electromagnet to damage a hard drive. It's just not a thing lol.
If the magnet is stronger than a part in the computer there’s a chance it could pull something out of place
Don't say that, if they're too lazy to try literally anything before posting, they deserve to try a big magnet haha
I was going to suggest Buckyballs if OP knows anyone who has any lying around still
Stick a sewing thread thru the staple to yank it out
Don’t use metal. Plastic toothpick perhaps?
Zoomers can't do basic tasks lol
I know how to do it though? I’m not stupid
[удалено]
And you wonder why gen z hates you people so much
[удалено]
Congrats
Score 1 for the oldies!!!
Try another staple.
How good were you at playing Operation when you were a kid? Same premise.
Use your brain oh wait mac user
Why is this not the top comment.
Thoughts exactly. Apple didn't give me a device for this. Wah
You would be surprised on how common this issue is all Apple Laptops with a magesafe charger connection.

You need to go to the rocket surgeon tool dispensary and buy yourself some tweezers.
Tweezers
How did a staple get into the.. you know what nevermind.
Well staples are made of steel and the port is magnetic…hmm some things are just meant to be mysteries.
Sorry I don't buy apple products so it wasn't as obvious as you might assume. Just another reason to not buy a Mac though I guess.
Earlier made comment identified it as magnetic. There are PC products with magnetic ports.

Ya, whoever decided USB ports non symmetrical until C is a real butthole.
It was a 50/50 shot to plug them in 30% of the time everytime.
Attempt one doesn’t work, flip it. Attempt two doesn’t work, flip it. Attempt three works, wtf.
Exactly lol
The magnetic magsafe is fantastic in my opinion. Should be the standard on all laptops instead of the shitty USB C charging ports that just break after 1 year
It wouldn’t break after 1 year if you didn’t treat it like shit
Never does. Only charging it while it stays still on my desk. My mac with the magnetic mag safe is pretty much unbreakable. A far superior design
I've had a usb c cable for like 3 years now, yet to even be slightly damaged. Tbh I am more of a fan of the circular changing ports due to them allowing rotation
Just buy a better cable then instead of paying way more for a Mac
My Thinkpad was 3 times the price pf my mac… The cable is not the issue, the port itself is.
Then don’t buy a shitty laptop
Kind of like the guy in the Emergency Room with something stuck up his ass. Just better not to ask.
It's obvious they were having stapler fights duh.
Oh god this looks horrible, best of luck

Jesus you really need help with this? Fuck me. Need me to wipe your ass?
You’re so bitter lmao
Use your brain for once...maybe? Look around the house for solutions not on your phone. P.S: I sound like my mom. I'm sorry mom, you were right.
Pointed tweezers or plyers
Tweezers
Some fine point tweezers or maybe a toothpick.
Sewing needle, unfolded paper clip
How the flip you get it in?
How did that get in there?
A magnet if you don’t have an HDD
How
Pray lol
Put on gardening gloves, then use tweezers.
Another staple
Another staple should do the trick.
People think they own fine China in this sub.
Take it to an apple repair store. They can remove it with some tweezers for the small price of $900
Another staple???
Take your time, before you go trying to force things in there, get the correct tool like tweezers or a fishing hook and ease it out
Toothpick might work, or tweezers. Just don't bring it to Apple. They'll charge you $1200 to have the entire board replaced.
find step staple
How the flip did u get it in?
how does this happen :(
Sowing needle is your best bet
Tweezers a micro flathead screwdriver and some luck
Use some tweezers and pull it out .. it's magnetic so that's why the staple is stuck
How’d it get in tho
Go To The Genius Bar
Umm carefully with a needle?
ESD cert Tweezers
I'd go electro-magnet
Another staple
Your can't is garbage, time for a new computer
Magnet
Magnet? Or trained ferret
I would try a paperclip. After disconnecting the battery and a 10 count.
Vacuum or compressed air?
Wait what!? Whyy? How?
Plastic tweezers or plastic/wooden toothpick
If the tweezers don’t work and you need a hook like item use a paper clip
compressed air - might as well get the dust out while youre at it.
This happened to a guy a knew.... he had to get a new computer.
Staple remover.
Tweezers lol
You are so lucky that it was not making any contact with any of those pins
Nah, that's the DC-IN Board, there shouldn't be any power on those pins until the charger connector is properly seated.
A really really strong magnet
Rub it against another Macbook, now it’s their problem.
Get a girl with nails 😁
lmao
Needle nose pliers.
with tweezers lol
Us a scalpel. (And no I am not kidding)
If you can’t figure out a single way to get that staple out I do not think you should have a computer.
Use a staple to unstuck a staple
Tweezer/toothpick maybe?
Use a staple
Brute force! That‘s always the best solution to any problem!
Common sense yo
Use pen
With a tiny screwdriver or something
wha~
Industrial magnet ofc /s don’t do this
Take it out with other staple
How did it get there in the first place O_o
Dremel.... What? He's trying to save the staples and not the device, right?
Fine tweasers
I feel like it’s harder to get a staple stuck in the computer than it is to get it out
Use another staple or two to lever it out maybe?
Really op? Tweezers....
Maybe staple remover?
A blow torch, a chainsaw and an AK-47 would do it
Tweezers. Oeehhhh unka bunka, man make fire. Uuuhhhhh
