Damn screw....
I need to open my laptop (wanna do it myself, it's way to expensive to have it fixed), but I have ONE DAMN STRIPPED SCREW! And I have NO idea how to remove it. I've searched through the internet, but the only ways I've found are not suitable for a fragile surface (as a laptop) or require expensive items that I can't/don't want to buy. The thing is way deformated. It won't even move a little, and it's tight. To make things worse, the plastic case in which it is in has this small "hole", which avoids me to try and wrap around it with something and try to twist it.
Any cheap, easy and effective way of taking out a stripped screw? Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Well, there are things like this:
http://www.jmldirect.com/product.php...FQZcMAodQ3pKjQ There is also a chemical substance they sell in electrical shops in the tools section that drastically increases the grip between a screwdriver bit and the screw head if a drop is applied to the damaged screw, although at the moment I can't remember what it is called >_<. I found this too: http://www.boa-uk.com/boa_grabit.html There's nowhere I can't reach. ![]()

You can try using a hand drill and drilling through the screw itself if you have a small enough bit. If you don't have a hand drill you could try using a power drill, but that might be a little dangerous on a laptop.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
