My charger pin broke off inside my laptop. I have tried tweezers, and have had zero success.

Anything else I can try would be greatly appreciated.

thank you so much,

Open it up and remove the DC-IN port. Pull the center brace on the back of the DC-IN port out slightly. This will allow access to the broken pin.

Here's how to get to it:

Power off and battery removed. I would screw a small screw into the part stuck in the computer and then remove it carefully with a pair of pliers pulling on the screw head. Good luck.
