    Joey, stripped screws can be removed with Valve Lapping Compound (Course). Fill the hole with the compound and insert the screwdriver and carefully take it out. Its been one of the oldest tricks in the book and definitely worth trying before breaking any plastics. I hope you find this helpful. The compound can be purchased from your local auto parts supplier for approximately $8-$12. It would be nearly a lifetime supply as you don't need much. Have a great day!!!

    What a brutal repair! These are the repairs that make you think you can fix anything and then you spend insane amounts of time on a repair that actually can’t be fixed.

  • @nnighthawk

    Hey Joey, I really like watching your videos lately and today I actually got a tip for you. If you encounter a severely stripped screw, try cutting a slot in it with the disc looking tool of the grinding pen. It should then be possible to unscrew it with a flat head screwdriver. I have so far managed to get every screw out with this method, even severely (and I really mean severely) water damaged, rusty ones.

    You should take a minute and ensure they aren't first gen (unpatched) switches. You mentioned sell price of $100 for that first one, but if it is an unpatched switch. That number for tablet only can be around $200

    Hey Joey!
    Absolutely loving the vids
    One solution for stripped screws I learnt a very long time ago from my grandad (who was an electrician) is to use a piece of rubber band and push it in with the screwdriver, then try to unscrew it.
    Might seem like an ancient technique, but has yet to fail me!
    Anyways keep up the brilliant work :)
