How to remove stripped laptop screw?
(slrpnk.net)
I stripped this screw in my laptop and as such can't open the back cover to replace parts.
Things I've tried: -Different size/type screwdrivers -Rubber band -Hammer -Hot glue gun
Edit: got it unsuck. Thanks everyone for the advice
I’d try a flathead, it looks like you have enough to get it.
Failing that, maybe cut the tip off a screw, super-glue it to that one and then work it out.
I have used flatheads of various sizes and it wouldn't budge, unfortunately. I don't know how to cut metal.
After you work through this little delema, take a couple hours and read up on the properties of different metals like steel, aluminum and brass. Metal working really is fascinating and it generally is much easier that's it looks.
