I believe I just threw a grenade in there...

If I recall correctly, its too far a reach to pull out with the G-Gun (pulling on the wire doesn't work, you have to pull the actual plug). So, like MCrusty said, you toss a grenade in there and it blows the plug out of the socket.

Or you can use the gravity gun on the barrels and try to knock the socket off with it.. that's what I did.

 

[Lonyo]

Or you can shoot it I think.

Just throw junk into the room until it gets knocked out.

So basically, just do anything BUT use the gravity gun, and the plug will fall out!

I threw everything I could find with the gravity gun in there and it finally fell out.

I used the gravity gun from the the very edge of the force shield and worked... oh well, what ever works

I used the gravity gun to do just that with the tables that were nearby.

This is what I did as well. Worked like a charm.

EDIT: And if you are concerned about losing a grenade, I believe there is one sitting in that room for you to pick right back up. My memory could fail me though.

Valve put a few grenades in that window (that you can see the plug through) to give you that hint, IMHO.

Make you wonder why bad guys would leave grenades and goodies around for you to use against them or when they stand around explosive barrels

Cause that's what bad guys do

You can look @ Half-Life 2 as a action/adventure movie only that it's interactive & in usual action/adventure movie rules. The bad guys are always dumber than the hero/heroin/heroes, least dumb enough to tell about their diabolical plans before the supposed demise of a hero/heroin or in this case leaving lethal weapons & stuff laying about.
