You can literally use a paperclip. Just stick it into the coax hole. This is not a joke, just do it. There is no trick. Just uncurl it then stick it in. Seriously go try it.

Edit: This wasn't meant to be condescending by the way, I was just sharing a cool fact I learned. I've tried it myself.

Have an adult help you! Be sure to get your parent's permission before going online.
