Suggestions for getting stuck pin out?

[Lanner]

Anyone have luck getting a broken cpu pin out of a cpu socket? Its almost flushed with the hole so i cant get a tweezer to grab it and it wont fall out when i flip it upside down.

Use a very thin sewing needle. While the socket is facing down use it to pick it loose.

if you have a pair of precision pliers, you could do something similiar

I did the same thing when it happened with me. Takes patience to get it out.

EDIT: What socket is it ? Mine happened on a S939 (where pins are very thin and took me a while).
