    Do you have a stripped screw in your Laptop, Cellphone or other electronic device?

In this video Alex from AppleDollars.com shows how to remove a stripped screw from an iPad, iPhone or Macbook.

    Ok I see a lot of bad-mouthing here and I get it, but this worked for me. If anyone is here regarding Nintendo 3DS XL screws, then this works (but not right away). I had to drill a little into the screw (not enough to remove it, but enough to make the divot large enough to reach the edges). Then, the trick in the video works by having the divot closer to the edge so you can turn from the circumference of the screw. Good luck to y'all

    Bought the same kit, used the same technique, it didn't do anything but scratch the surface of the screw. The screw in the video is either not tightly screwed in, or it's a cheap soft aluminum screw where the teeth of the screwdriver dig in.
    For highly tightened non-cheap screws I think the only working method is a left hand screw extractor bit.

      The point is that these are electronics with small delicate components.
      Like im watching this video because my dumbass assembled my beats studio 3s wrong. All i had to do was fold in the side i wanted to work on and tighten the screw instead of struggling in an angle and ending up stripping the tiny screw. Now the way its angled and hidden will %100 forsure melt, fuck up anything heat would touch.

      @@Rabiiid a glue might work like super glue (but the residue might mess it up if the glue is heavy on areal residue) sometimes its just messed up and the component you have a busted screw is also delicate which leaves you to no option at all
      one of my busted screw is on my laptop's motherboard which is impossible to do brute force
      i found a small way around it but im not sure if it works on everything
      everytime i clean my laptop's interior of dust i just occasionally try to unscrew it (avoiding to break the grooves more by pressing hard, i was lucky that the screw that is busted have a good ground underneath it so the risk of breaking the board is low) slowly it actually lose and now i can clean it completely IDK in your case sometimes its just too delicate to even try bust a screw out

    The screw looks like it was already loose but not grabbing. Don't use for tight screws that won't move. I did the corner thing first, and then the middle and neither worked. I check the Amazon sales page, and immediately noticed several warning that it may not work. 🤦‍♂️

    I just got a similar set from iFixIt, and it managed to remove an extremely stripped screw in about as bad of a situation as you can possibly imagine short of the screw head being ripped off or something. Not only was it fully stripped (with zero visible notches), but I had made one ill-advised attempt to remove it using super-glue that just sealed it in there even further.
    But with a *lot* of elbow grease and the iFixIt extractor, used as described in this video (along the edge of the screw), I finally managed to remove it. Was a big relief, because I was fully expecting it not to work after making zero progress with any other method.

      @BenkaiDebussy ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@DARK_AMBIGUOUS If you have the sort of precision extractor tools in this video, he only real advice I can think of is that you'll probably have to press really hard while trying to turn the screw (and it can take a number of tries to find the right angle; I just kept trying to get a grip on the edge of the screw with the extractor until something worked). Otherwise you just have to turn to the left while aligning the notch in the extractor with the edge of the screw (which is now more like a circle due to being stripped), like shown in this video.

    Just wanted to say that this works. Was getting ready to bad mouth this guy after trying and failing but I tried for a little more and it worked. I think this is actually the only video with this information that I could find. My screws were especially fucked because I I thought stripping them more with my drill would help me get them out with a different tool. That didn't work. You might need to fiddle around for a while but you'll get the screw out with this technique. For what it's worth I was trying to open the bottom of a macbook air from like 2015. Good luck!
