Help! Broken stylus stuck in reader

lizzielou · 08-07-2022, 01:29 PM

I am not sure if anyone is able to help me here. I have a prs-350 that I bought that came without a stylus. I now have a spare stylus to use but find that there is a stylus in there but the top has broken off so I am unable to remove it.

I have removed the two minute screws in the side hoping that would free it but it is further inside the shell.

Is anyone able to advise me on how to remove this from the case? That would be a great help.

Per a video I just found, use a needle or something small and pointy to firmly but gently slowly slide the stylus out. If you need a visual, here's the video. (The needle part starts at about 20 seconds.)

Thank you very much for pointing me to the video - it's so easy when you know how!
