stripped screws

chunkylover4 · 2012-05-03 12:00:26

Not sure if this is the right forum, but I have two stripped screws connecting the motherboard of my notebook to the case and was wandering has anyone had this kind of problem before, I've tried using a rubberband between the screw and screw driver to know avail and was wandering does anyone have any other solutions.

You should be able to slowly turn round screws,slowly, with a pliers or similar tool.ACESS from the side ,or facing downwards.

Try a flat bladed screwdriver or if all else fails CAREFULLY drill out the screw with a Dremel...
