Can you get some tweezers in there?

If you really want it out you might have to open the case up.

When something like this happened to my cellphone, i just:
-took cotton off a q-tip
-spread a tiny bit of glue (just around the end of a qtip, so that it doesn't stick to the sides, just to the jack)
-put it inside, put some pressure and wait a bit

and took it out with no problem at all :-) you just have to be extra careful not to glue the q-tip on the inside :-)

Just an improvement on what Ollus said, the only thing that i would change is to use the rest of the tip from the headphone. this way, if it broke of at an angle, or if there are any crevices or anything of that sort, the two will "form" together, allowing for a slightly better bond. I have done this on a friend of mines iPod, and it is just the most simple, easiest way.

it just takes a small screwdriver to open it up.. that sounds like it would be the best way for you to fix the problem.. i think there is one screw under the sticker in the battery compartment you have to make sure you unscrew. just remember, if it doesn't come apart easily, you've missed a screw... i found this out when replacing a screen on the 2000 model.
good luck

A picture would be helpful as I have experience opening up PSP's as I replaced my own analog stick. Which I think I would have to do again because it seems the analog stick is not designed well by Sony...
