I have a macintosh plus and i put a floppy to boot it but later when i tried to eject it it didnt work. I tried using the paper clip method but that didnt work. I think part of the floppy isstuck in it.

If part of the disk is stuck, you'll likely need to remove the entire floppy drive to get it out. The manual eject button requires a little more effort than you might think. So, before resorting to removing the floppy drive, you may try the manual eject mechanism once again.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to remove the drive anyway so that you can clean and regrease it. Good luck!

That's good news! What did it take to fix the disk drive?

On the lower right side of the floppy theres half a circle that part of the mechanism went into it. I guess it got bent or something while trying to eject it. so i bent it a bit and got it working.
