    Is there anything you could grab onto with some small needlnose pliers? If no, I'd take the laptop apart and hope that you could push it out the back with a pin. You'll be able to do this on some jacks, but not all.

    I don't have such small pliers to use it, opening is out of question coz notebook is still on warranty.

    You could try some sort of super glue that hardens in a few seconds on the end of a rod. Should be strong enough to pull it out. Just be careful so you dont use too much.
