wire is versatile in its nature. thus a paper clip is a useful accessory in many kinds of mechanical work including computer work: the metal wire can be unfolded with a little force. several devices call for a very thin rod to push a recessed button which the user might only rarely need. this is seen on most cd-rom drives as an "emergency eject" should the power fail; also on early floppy disk drives (including the early macintosh). various smartphones require the use of a long thin object such as a paper clip to eject the sim card and some palm pdas advise the use of a paper clip to reset the device. the track ball can be removed from early logitech pointing devices using a paper clip as the key to the bezel. a paper clip bent into a "u" can be used to start an atx psu without connecting it to a motherboard (connect the green to a black on the motherboard header). one or more paper clips can make a loopback device for a rs232 interface (or indeed many interfaces). a paper clip could be installed in a commodore 1541 disk-drive as a flexible head-stop. a paper clip can be used (unsafely) to temporarily bridge a blown fuse. the steel wire from a paperclip can be used in dentistry to form a dental post.
