My disk drive recently jammed and I'm watching a tutorial which shows you having to unravel a paperclip & stick it in this small hole(like how you reset a calculator). I can't find any paperclips in my house anywhere, so I'm wondering if people have suggestions for what I could use instead of a paperclip.

Things that don't work:

-Spaghetti
-A stapel
-A toothpick


Anyone who says something I deem viable or actually works I'll +rep.

Use a plastic fork and break parts of it to make it fit
A small stick, cut and sharpen it
Piece of wire
Shoe lace?

a piece of wire
maybe that wrapping wire that a lot of things come wrapped in (mainly electronic stuff)
a small twig from a tree (one of those bendy ones not the ones that snap)
