Stripped Screw Removal - Laptop

[@swar666]

Thank you, man. I got my set from ali, and it worked well, I removed 3 stripped screws from my Legion 5. Also I noticed, that you did not use drill bits, but in my case that saved my life. When trying to remove stripped screw, first use small drill bit, and then bigger one, and only then, when it starts to remove screw, use extractor bit, all these actions on reverse and with small speed. For legion 5 I used dr#10 and then dr#9, and only then ex#9, and that worked! Thank you!

You are welcome. Glad the video helped.

fucking hell another legion 5 user here,fucks sake never seen screws so fucking tight it's so annoying . I have 2 screws that cover the m2 slot ( i want to put an ssd in it ) that are fucking stripped . Never seen screws so fucking bad

SO MANY people with the Asus laptop problem. I have tried every method except this one. Now i need to spend more money to take out one screw. Thanks Asus.

[@dslpics]

MANY MANY thanks for this video and the link to the stripped screw removal set! It took me less than 10 seconds to remove the stripped hex screw on my laptop. Battery replacement was an absolute breeze once I got the cover off! Thanks again!!!

[@philippelapointe4598]

Best solution amongst all the others. Less than 7 minutes.

[@gnlmiami]

Thank you! I was upgrading the drives in two laptops, an ACER Nitro and an ASUS Vivobook. The latter has screws at an odd angle, two of which got stripped. After watching your instructions, I ordered the necessary tools from your recommendations. It worked with no problems.

[@Dayn-El]

Thankyou sir! I followed ur footsteps and finally after more than 3 years, I could open up my old laptop and retrieve its drives.

[@jimjones594]

Thank you. I am a believer; these work. Excellent!
I have been repairing laptops for 20+ years and have been very fortunate to have never had to deal with a stripped screw until this week.
Unfortunately, this was the screw holding down the M.2 SSD module inside the laptop, and very small. A quick search on Google turned up your video and the set you recommended. This was a God-sent and the best 20 bucks I've spent in a long time. The screw was out in under 30 seconds. Let me add; use light pressure on the drill and drill as slowly as possible. Having Scotch tape handy to dab up any metal dust is recommended when working inside the case.

Which screw did you use? And What laptop model?

[@HPN295]

Hi, Which screw did you use?

[@Canada_Facts]

Did you use just the Ex bit or a combo of Dr and Ex bit

[@RCfromtheNYC]

Thanks! So many videos on CZcams and I finally found one for removing laptop screws! I ordered the kit you recommended so I hope it works out!

[@dannyM7M]

Excellent, you just saved me $45 fees to remove some stripped screws on laptop.

I have 1 screw on my laptop that won't come out, it's not stripped or anything. Do you have any suggestion?

[@hakemz.]

What I used is the rubber gloves you're wearing and it worked, but that still depends on how stripped your screw is.

[@NahNoWayy]

Just got in my fan and heatsink replacement for my laptop, but have multiple screws that will not loosen on the side of the cpu fan that needs removal... I'm hoping I can use your method to do it myself, but this headache of a problem makes me wonder if I should have not even tried to.

Just got 5 out of 6 screws out of my new legion and the top left screw didn't want to cooperate and stripped on me waiting on my drill from Amazon now 😔

[@axv2655]

hey i wanted to ask you my screw is stuck but the screw is beside the ssd idk how to pull it out and can you tell me any solutions?

[@DumReviewGRC]

You should have inspired me earlier. Both mini drill + extraction kit cost were 30$ and the problem has been solved in minutes! As many others said, it's better use drill bit #9 first and when it starts spinning to use an extractor bit #8 in reverse

[@elijahtiu9526]

Thank you! Took me a while but it worked

[@thuranz2773]

Would it be possible to extract using the bit in a regular screwdriver? Only have a drill, not an electric screwdriver, so it only goes one way.

[@lexbeltran1354]

No, not enough power. You need to use a electric drill with reverse.

[@Canada_Facts]

Quick Question - Do we have to use the Dr bit first to drill and then the Ex bit to extract or can we just use the Ex and get done?

[@jimjones594]

Yup

[@subfunkparty]

Hey thanks for the video... i have the opposite problem however and no one on youtube has a video addressing this, so perhaps you can be the first? The screw column on my DELL XPS 9560 (which is made of plastic - terrible decision DELL for your flagship laptops!) has lost the threading within the screw column. So now, no matter what screw i use, it doesn't grip. Its only a matter of time until the laptop body cracks that the screw column is attached to.

[@jimjones594]

Fill the column with a plactic filler, let it dry, then drill it out to match the screw size.

I bought a ram, and SSD upgraded HP from Amazon.... I just didn't inspect it well, and I didn't even noticed how one screw in the back was stripped to a perfect scoop mark.
I was like really. Who ever changed the memories. Really said f*uck it and sent it out when they had access to tools, and replacement screws.
I was like, wow. I missed the return window.
I will take it to an electronic repair shop since I don't have the tools.
And if they can't do it. I will re-order the same laptop, and send mine back.

Hey! I tried this method, for some reason the drill bit is not spinning when placed on the screw, the drill itself runs and spins but the drill bit stays static. When I lift it up, the drill bit rotates too. What should I do?

[@calewilliams6967]

Just bought a new asus 4090, removed all but 2 screws, they literally crumbled when I used my ifixit screwdriver. What a joke, 2k for a card and they can’t even put decent hardware in it.

[@willcoyote1696]

You can also superglue a bit to the screw, let the glue dry and try again ;)

[@jimjones594]

Don't recommend it. One drop that's off target would compound the problem. Besides, most factory-installed screws have more than enough locktite holding them in place, so it comes down to a battle as to which is stronger, Locktite or your super glue. My money is on the Locktite.
