After you open your machine, remove the DC-IN port. The middle bar on the back of the unit can be pulled out slightly. After doing so, most of the time the tip can be dislodged and removed with tweezers or very small needle nose pliers. I use a small hemostat. If you give us exactly which Book you have we can lead you to the specific instructions on how to open your Book. Click on the "Devices" box to the right of this box to find your correct Book.
