It astounds me the way people speak to a man who was kind enough to create a video explaining in great detail different ways to help you!! Im grateful he shared his knowledge from his experiences. I didnt have any ideas what to do and sure u folks didnt either....thats why we looked it up on youtube...right?! Thank you sir for your video. I appreciate it
Gotta say, when all other methods failed and was just stripping away more of the screw (size #00) the one method that worked was soldering the screwdriver to the screw. Had to repeat a few times, but it's out! Amazing, thanks!
Thanks man, great tips! I didnt have a lot of options. Eventually a flat tip and a piece of cloth for better grib along with some down force got it loose :)
The tape method worked!! Admittedly I didn't have a small enough screwdriver for these really tiny screws but putting some fire retardant tape (which usually is very rubbery and flexible on the surface) worked, although very slowly and required some force.
Thanks so much! I was a little annoyed at first when you didn't mention about spinning screws. Glad I stayed and you mentioned a magnet, worked perfect!
If your pentalobe screw isn't coming out (as in it makes a slight click noise as you rotate it), try and unscrew it to just before it clicks. Get a magnet and place it on the screw and pull out. This worked for me.
solder the screwdriver with the screw ... wow is the best idea I've heard in my life, god, you're a genius, now if that damn screw will come out of a good time
ill give my own advice that works 9 out of 10 times. just use whatever suction you have to lift the scren and at the same time unscrew. warning dont force the screen to much just a bit is enough
I had a screw stuck on the SE home button when I was replacing the lcd, so I pried the metal and moved it a little, took out the home button and the cable, ordered a new metal part for it, and boom (THIS WONT WORK FOR PHONES AND IF YOUT DOING IT BECAREFUL YOU MIGHT DAMAGE SOMETHING)
Awesome video thank you 👍🏼 I didn't try some of the method's but you did give me an idea tho. I used nail clippers to grab hold of the screw and it worked 👍🏼
Thanks for the great video! I don't know what kind of screws my Huawei Mate 9 had, but nothing easy worked. I went down the drilling path which was nerve-wracking but worked well. Frankly, I don't even know why they have screws; there is so much tension just prying the case open, that even if there were no screws it wouldn't open by itself in a million years. I changed out my battery which wouldn't fully charge and I was getting constant overheating warnings. Got everything back together and it is now working perfectly. Thanks again for making this video!!!
I was looking for some tips on how to remove a stripped screw inside a phone. There are a couple options here that might consider. But I just wanted to add that if you’re just simply trying to remove a broken screen, you can use and I said some mowers badger and just ripped the screen off and break the screw tabs completely off of the old broken screen. I’ve done that a couple of times. I do in-Home/in-office repairs and sometimes that’s all I can do. Another thing is he mentioned the screws not wanting to come out. Sometimes on aftermarket screens, the screw tabs are bent inwards a bit and if you don’t bend them towards the frame of the phone before installation, the screws won’t come out. So one option is to screw the pentalobe screws back in with a bit of force so that you make those tabs bend outwards and then when you unscrew it it will push out of the phone.
If the screw is up at all from the edge of the phone, you might be able to use a pair of flush cutters to get enough grip to twist it out. When all else failed, this worked for me.
Thanks! A lovely, clear, well-presented instructional video. Going to try your solutions with a recalcitrant screw on the back of my LG Watch R. APPENDIX: Success!!!!!!! A million thanks! (Embarrassment: at one point, I had been screwing in the wrong direction! In the end, the duct tape worked....)
I just used nail clippers on a screw, I was able to get the nail clippers to squeeze the screw tight enough to turn it a little bit and then used tweezers to finish rotating it. My screw was inside and not on the outside like in this video.
Thank you I literally tried everything else, I ended up just having to break the screen off on my xs, however, when I opened it, nothing actually broke, it just opened, the little hole on the screen side is bent, as though the screw was put in not aligned properly and they just pushed the little bracket back and bent it, and was never actually through the hole at all 🙃 no idea how that works as this is its first opening but thanks!
Another way (I just found out) is great for internal screws. As the Y-screws wear out pretty fast, that indicates that the metal is quite soft. So I took a scalpel and forced it in the screws head so it bites. After a few turns, the screw was finally out. Screw was f***ed, but I had a replacement.
There are times when the screw head comes a bit out, in those case try pushing the screw from the side of it, a sideward and an upward force might work
Dude, the screw that holds the M.2 SSD on my laptop isn't coming out and while I'm waiting for the right size tools to come, just the idea of these ideas of yours not working are giving me the big anxiety lol
A better way that always workd for me is lifting the screen just a but like just enough to have my fingernail between the frame and the screen and then unscrew it and works like a sharm every time for me. :)
1:45 they should include the proper bit with devices these days, or at least the proper "size" description so we know what to use without damaging the tiny soft-metal screws 6:20 left handed drill bits would be best bc it might even back out the screw
I've only dealt with one iPhone 7 Y000 that was stripped but it was on the battery terminal cover not the home button. In your case I think it would depend on which screw. The one directly behind the button could be a problem if you applied pressure which is what I did in addition to using a similar sized Torx bit that was able to grip enough for removal. You might be able to carefully use a blade and cut a straight slot into it then use the smallest Phillips you can find. Jewelers use a ridiculously small one that supposedly can fit into a stripped Pentalobe screw from what I'm told but I don't have first hand experience on that. If I think of anything else I'll add it here later.
I'm having that same problem with 2 stripped battery terminal triwings. With your experience what did you do to fix it? I have superglue and a soldering iron. Which method do you recommend? Thanks for the help keep up with the good videos!
Hello, Great video I just lost 2 - 2.7 mm-long T3 (bottom USB screws) ? where to find? Can you help what exactly do I need to replace, Xiaomi Poco F1 Android. Thanks
I tried the glue one before and it didn't work, but now I know that other people including you have had good luck with it I might give it another shot, maybe my glue wasn't strong enough!
Torx bits drive me insane...After I get the screws replaced on my pocket knife I am going to pick up some Wera drivers and hope that keeps me from stripping the next set.
NAIL CLIP! NAIL CLIP! NAIL CLIP! I had two stripped ones for the iPhone 8 home button. I just kept grabbing with the corner of the clip and turning. After about 20 mins them b*****s fell out!!!!
ok I have the same issue, I've been trying for hours on getting these screws out, can you explain your issue was it flush on the bracket or you had part of it unscrewed. My issue is its flush on the bracket and so far all the options given hasn't worked. Really appreciate your help with this issue
Sometimes propping the screen open slightly will help you get some traction. If that does not work you may have to drill out the screw or force it open and possibly damage the screen in the process.
my nokia phone have a problem the tip of the screw is cutted i dont know how to remove it and also half of the touch screen in the upper one isnt working but the lower one is working any tip to remove the broken tip screw and the touch screen problem reply if you know so!
I have an iPhone 11 with this, I tried heat but the plastic in between the screen and frame started melting, this is a contract phone how am I meant to early upgrade now??!!
Wait, what? What is this about Pentalobe?? drivers and regular Philips? Where can I buy these different types of drivers and what do I even search for? I tried searching for ph000 japan style screwdriver and came up with nothing. What should I even be looking for? A bit more info on this subject would have certainly been nice, as not knowing where to even find these unique drivers is not going to help us solve these issues in the future. Heck, I wasn't even aware there was any sort of difference and now I have a stripped screw on my Nintendo Switch.

I couldnt agree more 👌👌
rubber band ended with a hole inside

It’s been awhile since i ran into a stripped screw and i forgot about using tape on the tip and it worked, thank you SO MUCH for this video
Unfortunately none of the "easy" solutions helped mut thanks for the tips, good to know in the future.
im screwed
literally
LOL
i like your profile pic
pause
Hahahahaha!!
Me too
Thanks man, great tips! I didnt have a lot of options. Eventually a flat tip and a piece of cloth for better grib along with some down force got it loose :)
I owe you a beer. You saved me
The tape method worked!! Admittedly I didn't have a small enough screwdriver for these really tiny screws but putting some fire retardant tape (which usually is very rubbery and flexible on the surface) worked, although very slowly and required some force.
Awesome! Congrats.
Thanks a lot! Drilling the screw out with an extractor was the solution for me.
The super glue has stuck to the screw hole rip me
I had to use the drill. Thanks for the advice. This really helped me finally get past a stripped screw on my drone.
Thanks dude!!! That rubber band did the trick. I was wearing out the screw with each attempt, luckily I stopped before wasting them.
Thanks so much! I was a little annoyed at first when you didn't mention about spinning screws. Glad I stayed and you mentioned a magnet, worked perfect!
If your pentalobe screw isn't coming out (as in it makes a slight click noise as you rotate it), try and unscrew it to just before it clicks. Get a magnet and place it on the screw and pull out. This worked for me.
I didn’t have a bigger bit so I took a file and filed down the tip of my 0.8 and it worked like a charm!
solder the screwdriver with the screw ... wow is the best idea I've heard in my life, god, you're a genius, now if that damn screw will come out of a good time
The soldering trick worked 😊 thank you
Great!

Good advice.
correct!
I can't thank you enough!!!!
You saved me money for magnet, and a trip to Home Depot. Thank you so much.

*WORKED*
That double tape method worked for me
Thank you very much
Awesome video thank you 👍🏼 I didn't try some of the method's but you did give me an idea tho. I used nail clippers to grab hold of the screw and it worked 👍🏼

I appreciate a soldering guide for this . I just broke my phone glass just to change the. Battery

APPENDIX: Success!!!!!!! A million thanks! (Embarrassment: at one point, I had been screwing in the wrong direction! In the end, the duct tape worked....)
Thank you very much. It really worked. I tried With tape and it worked. 😊😊😊
I just used nail clippers on a screw, I was able to get the nail clippers to squeeze the screw tight enough to turn it a little bit and then used tweezers to finish rotating it. My screw was inside and not on the outside like in this video.
Thanks man, I was able to step up to T3 to open a Torx T2 at the bottom of my Huawei Mate 9
Alas after trying everything, I gave up but then recently I ordered a set of pentalobe screwdrivers and used the smallest one and it worked :)
Thank you I literally tried everything else, I ended up just having to break the screen off on my xs, however, when I opened it, nothing actually broke, it just opened, the little hole on the screen side is bent, as though the screw was put in not aligned properly and they just pushed the little bracket back and bent it, and was never actually through the hole at all 🙃 no idea how that works as this is its first opening but thanks!
Thank you .
My screw is in a recessed hole
Thanks a lot for your advice..
I did it successfully
Another way (I just found out) is great for internal screws. As the Y-screws wear out pretty fast, that indicates that the metal is quite soft. So I took a scalpel and forced it in the screws head so it bites. After a few turns, the screw was finally out. Screw was f***ed, but I had a replacement.
Excellent instructions, thank you so much, it's saved my Iphone x
Thanks for valuable ideas.

Going a size up really solved my problem, thanks so much for the tips!!! Happy Holidays :)
for small screw you can use nail clipper if possible
THANK YOU !! im replacing my switch joycon analog stick and the last screw i had to get out sticks out a bit, so i turned it with a nail clipper!! LOL
Thanks thought my steam deck ssd was forever stuck
no rubber band....
no duct tape...
hmmm crest whitestrip? lol it worked
Dude, the screw that holds the M.2 SSD on my laptop isn't coming out and while I'm waiting for the right size tools to come, just the idea of these ideas of yours not working are giving me the big anxiety lol
Thank you so much, best video to solve this problem on TH-cam A+
tape worked for my screw thanks so much!!!!!!
Great video! Duct tape did the trick for me.
A better way that always workd for me is lifting the screen just a but like just enough to have my fingernail between the frame and the screen and then unscrew it and works like a sharm every time for me. :)
Good call. I should have included that as it will create tension on the threads. Thanks for the comment.
Worked out for me, I was almost ready to give up. Was checking in the comments if anyone else had similar problems. This should be added to the video
Took me 2hrs before I saw this comment! Thanks!
Thank you! It worked
Thanks mate, this worked for me too.
Razor worked for me !!
Thank you
Welcome!
Thank you so much man. You're a life saver.

6:20 left handed drill bits would be best bc it might even back out the screw
Thanks I used the next size up for a rounded screw and it worked😀
Thank you!

You're welcome.
He says when to slip to in the begening of the video
GOD BLESS YOU!
He literally said what time at the beginning of the video
thank you.
I've noted everyone seems to have trouble with the right side screw.
Working the screen off did the trick, TY!
Mission failed
Had no option
thank for your idea , I will try to do the same to you, i hope it to works
What’s you solution for stripped iPhone 7 tri point screws on the home button?

The one directly behind the button could be a problem if you applied pressure which is what I did in addition to using a similar sized Torx bit that was able to grip enough for removal.

How do you properly use the crazy glue method?
I pushed then screen! thank you..
Ok I failed both with soldering and super glue. But I discovered a new method, I used sand and it worked perfectly
?
BangGangEiskalt so descriptive i know exactly what to do 😐
He ate the sand which somehow triggered some latent Magneto-like mutant power...that's my guess anyway

Very helpful! Thank you
Working at a phone repair shop the only time I get I round screw is on iPhones 6S on the back of the screen side frame.
Robbie_L_B how to remove it
You da’ man!!! Thank you!!!
You bet!
Vid starts at 3:31 👍
I tried the glue one before and it didn't work, but now I know that other people including you have had good luck with it I might give it another shot, maybe my glue wasn't strong enough!
I think I'm gonna used the super glue technique.
Torx bits drive me insane...After I get the screws replaced on my pocket knife I am going to pick up some Wera drivers and hope that keeps me from stripping the next set.
I dipped my bit just a smidge into the super glue and held it to the screw and waited about 20 seconds and it actually worked!
DeliWtz genius
What glue did you use. I am between buying Loctite and Goroilla right now
Thanks
Thanks a lot dude its working
what worked for me was using a different screwdriver, a better one.
Do you have a link to where you got your screwdrivers from?
Solution 3:30
Super glue didn't work one bit ...
video starts at 3:30
I don’t know why but the ones on the side of the screens will not come up for me all the others are fine and this is on multiple phones
Use glue to stick the screw and screw driver worked for me.
Good 1

You can heat the screw driver with a heat gun, the just put some pressure to the screw and start turning. It works, warranty!
Thanks man! Helped a lot!
I have tried everything except for drilling and soldering and I still can’t get it out not even the glue works 😭
Sometimes propping the screen open slightly will help you get some traction. If that does not work you may have to drill out the screw or force it open and possibly damage the screen in the process.
thanks dude..your tutor its good idea...i can give you like

bigger screw driver worked for me

my iphone 5c still has a stripped screw
Customer went with someone who made it hard for me to remove a screw cause its rounded 😅
It so smart
Another solution is to press hard onto the phone with the screw driver, then turn the phone clockwise. Just be careful not to scratch your screen!
my iphone se screen screws are all rusted, god damn it, it should be a eas repair, now I can not even remove these screws
#god. You just saved my ass
lost the tip of shitty pentalobe screwdriver in my screw
I have an iPhone 11 with this, I tried heat but the plastic in between the screen and frame started melting, this is a contract phone how am I meant to early upgrade now??!!
good ass fukn video! thanx
Laptop has stripped screw😒
Can I just go ahead and get rid of the 2 bottom screws???

My super glue doesn’t even hold I’m using gorilla:( the only issues I’m running into are these fucking screws that will not budge at all
Didn't work
I just fixed my iPhone screen! No Face ID . Don’t use it tho who cares. While closing up the phone I stripped one screw :/
