It's tough to distinguish between debris and a faulty pin, so use a magnifying glass.

It seems to be a tiny strand or thread rather than something else. There aren’t any bent pins visible, though I might attempt to locate them with a needle just in case it could cause an issue.

It seems unusual, but the pins appear intact—just as if another component is present inside.

After further checking, it seems to resemble a tiny fragment of lint or plastic. My vision is fading and the lens keeps slipping. Could a spray of compressed air help? What steps should I take to remove it carefully without harming anything?

A little breeze from a distance could be enough

Use an air duster or air can to clean up.

Tools like compressed air, needles, and tweezers help extract tiny items from minuscule spaces.

As long as you're not in the socket it should be okay. My approach would involve a steady hand and a few thin tweezers. Testing it in isopropyl alcohol might also work and clear it out, though it isn't certain enough for 100% confidence (it won't harm the board, so it's worth trying).

I plan to use compressed air since I don’t want to risk damaging a pin with tweezers. After having three coffees, I’m feeling energized. Perhaps shaking the mobile first would help determine if it should come out.
