Anybody know how to get a jammed S23U stylus out of an S24U? I didn't realize i had them mixed up.
I tried hitting half the bottom on my rubber sandel to bang it out but its jammed. As i tried to push the clicker to get it to pop out it just went in further.

Let me guess, you're trading in your S23 and were curious if it would fit and somehow missed all of the warnings saying not try it because it gets stuck in there? So now of course you want to remove it without damage.
Super glue and picks and such would all likely work but don't underestimate the power of hot glue. Those other methods are likely to scare the pen or worse damage the port, even minorly of your new device. Sure the damage might only be superficial and not ruin anything but hot glue would peel away and can be removed cleanly in most cases. If you've pushed until the top bottomed out, hopefully it will be in pop-up mode vs lockdown mode where it stays short when released. Then I would use a chopstick maybe or something with a flat surface so that you have the largest contact area possible, squirt some glue in there, apply your tool of choice, and then like they pop dents out of cars, pull back in one smooth quick action and hope it pops up and comes out.
Since this was going around on reviews I watched on YouTube, it's a known issue, YouTube might have the solution. It's worth a look.

Best wishes.
 
Yeah... Hot glue may do the trick.... If you don't have any hot glue something super stick that is easily removed afterwards..... Good luck
 
I haven't tried it but the coating on the SPen may not let the hot glue fully stick to it, so it'll just come undone if lodged just a tad (not to mention a lot more care has to go into making sure the glue doesn't run down the pen and into the silo).

They make clear double faced tape that you can get from Home Depot, or another store like it. This stuff will stick to anything. Use an exacto knife or any very sharp knife to cut a little piece out and using a pair of tweezers place the tape on the end of a small flat headed nail and...well you get it.
Personally I would NEVER squirt any type of glue into that hole where the pen is stuck! It's your choice but double faced tape will not leak down into the orifice. YMMV
 
A jeweller's (aka precision) screwdriver set would work best for working it out.

a) You can get one from Walmart, Home Depot, or Best Buy for a decent price (most are under $30).

and

b) Having a precision screwdriver set is handy to have around for other stuff, like fixing sunglasses or other really small stuff.

I recently got this from Amazon. It cost less than $30.


P.S. I was able to use a 1.3mm flat tip screwdriver bit to work out the S Pen on my S24 Ultra without scratching or breaking anything.

All you need is to get it far enough out to fit your fingernail in. Then from there you can pull it out.

It's a $400 Samsung repair BTW.

I almost did this but decided to search when I first got it and saw them getting stuck despite being nearly indistinguishable. Destroy the pen if you have to.

Get a small bolt extractor tip and drill it out of you have to.

Hahaha, not if you want to get your trade in rebate for the S23.

In the meantime we're all sitting here nearly breathless waiting to hear the outcome and what worked or didn't.

Have you resolved this yet??

Why? Who cares if the Spen gets destroyed l, just buy a replacement. If it's stuck you can't do anything with it anyway.

Alternative would be put no run glue on the spen and put a toothpick or similar and rip it out that way

Side convo, but you can do a trade-in (at Samsung directly, anyway) WITHOUT the S-Pen as this is considered an accessory and is not required for trade in just like the charger or any included cases. (I kept a couple as mementos because I liked the color better than the newer generation then)

Yes. I believe there was a thread about this a while back.

Now back to the OP.

All of us waiting to see if you got it out:
