Piece of charger stuck in my iPad

So I was trying to get my charger out of my iPad when it broke inside. I was able to take out the charger but the charger was bent. Since my old charger was bent I didn't want to try and put it back in the charging port so I ordered a new charger. When the new charger came it didn't fit in my iPad and I realized something must've been stuck in there. I tried tweezers to pull it out but I couldn't find what part to pull. I sent the iPad for repair but it's not covered by the limited one year warranty and I would have to pay $305. Not having that type of money I decided to let them send my iPad back. I was thinking of taking it to radio shack and let them replace it for $130 but I want to know if there is another way to fix this by myself without having to pay so much money. I really don't want to go to the apple store since it's so far away and I don't want them telling me I have to pay and waste my time driving to and from the store. Has anyone ever have this problem, if so how did you fix it?

Ok Guys. I fixed the problem by myself(didn't really get much help on here though). I used a bobby pin broken in two and wedged it out. The charger fits and charges great. If anyone else has this problem try to use a bobby pin and it's okay if you use a little force thats the only way to get it out.

It was the top part of my charger. Don't be afraid afraid to use a little force. The situation can't get any worse than it is. Just use a bobby pin or small screwdriver and pull it out. I fthe object inside is metal try using a magnet to pull it out. Before you go and soend $100-$200 try and see if you can fix it yourself. I was about to spend a whole bunch of money on something that I simply had to pull out. Hoped this helped!
