First off CUT THE FIVE PAGE SIG!!! That's a little excessive. Second,
DON'T wast the time to take the calculator apart. The link port is an
enclosed structure, my friend did that once. Anyway, you just have to
get something really small and sticky, and push it in there to grab the
little metal dude. Don't get any sticky stuff inside the port though
(though it seems you don't have much to put in there, anyway :)

Welcome to the ever changing sig! It changes every time I log in, so
don't flame me if it's a little long. Enjoy!
