    It would be difficult to impossible unless you open the laptop case and physically push the broken-off piece out from the inside.  It's not that difficult to open the case.  Often you can Google your laptop model and find disassembly instructions.

    In addition to the Google search, I would go directly to youtube.com and search for videos.  Or, be sure to look for videos that might appear in your Google search.

    The center of the plug that is stuck in there should be hollow. If you see the hollow core of the plug then you might be able to use a small drill bit, screw, or paper clip with bent tip to snag the plug and remove it.  If the smallest of strands of wires are still showing in there you might be able to grab it with tweezers and pull it out.
