Kudos to you, Gary. This is exactly the kind of community-spirited action that adds a "certain something" to these forums! :)

I'm just thinking that if you use two slim, flat-bladed screwdrivers down the outer edges of the broken piece, you could lever it out without touching any contacts. In any case, those three contacts are - presumably - just power points; not part of the capacitor's discharge path? If you think about a battery-powered flash - you wouldn't worry about touching the battery contacts. The only difference here is that the contacts connect to an external battery or power-supply using a cable. So those contacts should be safe. But if you lever the broken connector out from the outer edges, you wouldn't be touching them anyway.
I'm sure you'll get further replies that are more knowledgable than mine, but this is the approach I'd probably go with myself :)

Can you remove that broken-off piece using tweezers, or a couple of flat-bladed screwdrivers either side to lever it out? If so, you could use two-part epoxy resin glue to re-attached the broken piece to the connector. I've recently used Gorilla Epoxy to repair some plastic mounting parts for the hinge mechanism in my laptop, and it's incredibly strong.
