Stylus broken in AXIM
The stylus that came with the axim recently broke
 , as if this wasn't bad enough, it broken INSIDE  of the Axim (x5), the only part that broke off though is the end tip (the plastic thing) and it won't come out. Any ideas on how to get it out? And special holes to poke something through... if worse comes to worse I void the warrenty (which I believe has already expired  ) and open the dang thing... but only as a last resort:... o and I'M BACK!  | |||||

UPDATE
update: I got it out
 ! I first stuck the stylus in there (the metal part that wasn't stuck) and forced it in there a few times and jerked it around. Then I shook the Ax lightly until I realized it was making a weird clicking noise. So then I violently shook it until something came flying out! and guess what it was! My broken stylus! So all is good, and I've regained my degnity... or have I ? | |||||

Glad to hear it was resolved. I used some small Needle nose pliers when my Stylus was broke inside my PDA.

It would have been nice if the stylus's were made of metal rather than plastic like those tungstene pdas makes the ppc look much more elegant.

there was guy a while back (names escapes me) who figured out that if you put a DAB of glue on a small stick and push it down in the stylus hole until it hits the broken peice and then let it dry, then when its dry just yank the stick out and the tip will come with it....

Glue? Perhaps the tip would be in permanently?
A long hat pin might do the trick but, who cares at this point. The broken stylus is gone, bye-bye and good riddance bad stylus! Happy to hear all worked out! | |||||
