Screwed up in a laptop Solved/Closed

Question

Hello, so here’s my problem. I’ve had a Samsung R530 laptop for a year. Today I decided to disassemble it to remove all the dust inside, but I have a stripped screw... It’s quite small (7mm long and the head is 3mm in diameter). It’s a Phillips screw and the screwdriver doesn’t grip it at all anymore... Do you have any way to help me remove this screw??

Thanks in advance.

Hello,  before taking out the drill: glue  We apply it on the screwdriver or the screw depending on access, we secure the screwdriver (with something like pliers, a box, etc. not by hand otherwise it moves and it doesn't stick well)  and we wait 30 seconds then we unscrew.  I can get quite a few out like this. -- Windows has not detected any keyboard. Press Enter to continue. Huh?

Hi!  What is this screw for?  Is it really that essential?

1 - If the screw isn't too stripped, try using a professional screwdriver; it usually works better.

2 - If you can reach the screw, try making a side groove with a saw and then use a flat screwdriver.

3 - If the other two solutions don't work, you'll have to drill the screw with a drill. Use a bit just the size of the screw to only remove the head, but you really have to be careful with a laptop; I think a pillar drill would be better.

It happened to me recently; I thought the screw was dead and only saw drilling as a way out. The impression was almost round, but I managed to get it out with a professional screwdriver.

Good luck! ;)

If it is not essential, you can drill as mentioned before; if no solution that has already been suggested works, there are this kind of tool, screw extractors > http://cjoint.com/11dc/ALFlQQJPoBi.htm, just make a small hole in the screw and insert the extractor that is reverse-threaded, so by unscrewing, it will fit into the hole and unscrew the screw. See if someone can lend you one because it's a tool we hardly ever use.
