    I managed to break off a headphone plug into one of the two headphone jacks of my m1530. It's lodged pretty deep in there. If I remove the palm rest, can I get it out of there?

    i don't think so

    one way you can try is use a screwdriver to pick/force it out

    one extreme way is to dab the top of a toothpick with superglue and press it on the broken part... let it dry, and pull it out... of course, the toothpick/part might be superglued (search this forum, someone's got the same problem a few weeks ago)
