How to remove security Torx screws without the proper tools
Переглядів 134 тис.4 роки тому
Hello! Here I am just showing a method I used a few times to remove security Torx screws when I did not have the proper screws. Someone sort of internet famous ruined a possible prototype machine by being impatient and cutting into it with a dremel. Let’s take an extra minute when working on things like this and improvise tools, while being nondestructive. #8bitguy #dremel #torx #preservation

    Also a flathead screwdriver could work aswell if you have a mighty grip strength to keep pushing into the screw while turning

    I had Pokemon Blue 🔵 I forgot how I opened the Super Nintendo Cartridges to replace the battery. I think my uncle had the tool to remove the screws.

    Over complicated. Take a small screwdriver and snap the security post off. Use a regular T10.

    I would love to have an Aloha again, I still use the original mouse and keyboard set made by Logitech. Do you have any restore CD for this machine? Thank you.

    A couple years ago, I opened up a microwave by using the ends of 2 paperclips and a pair of pliers... Slowly but surely. Today, my laptop had a size t5 torx screw, and I didn't have any paperclips small enough for the microscope-sized screw. If I had a crystal pen I might have tried your method. Ended up ordering a small electronics screwdriver kit... Will need to fix other small electronics lol.

      you might be able to get away with hot glue if the screws aren't super tight

    I will try this today because I brought 4 sets of cheap tools yesterday and 2 of the sets had a piece that fit my ps4, but I rounded them before pulling my console apart so decided to stop... I really wanna clean my fan and am hopeful for this trick

    *Pretty cool trick! Nobody has a video on how to take the teeny tiny ones off pocket knives. Can’t remove the belt clip without taking off those torque screws.*

    • @something_about_tools
      @something_about_tools 3 роки тому

      You might get away with using a very small flat screwdriver, in the torx screw. I have had to use that method as well.

    Tried this for my old PS3, didn't work. Took my drill, that did the job.
