      How did you remove the screws that are in the back of the ps4?
      Because I was able to remove the ones near the hard drive but the 3 screws in the back I can't remove them

    (2nd owner of a PS4 that's never been cleaned. Had to take it apart for a NECESSARY cleaning that proved to be a lovely adventure for my OCD lol. This pen trick did the the job for 3 (Very) specific screws that I didn't have the tool for! This method works when your in a pinch!)

      @@alias136 Yup! Hahahaha. I recommend that you get a knife to hollow out the necessary width of the screw in the pens body. It takes a moment but you will Literally be doing what he's doing in the end lol. Just remember to press down firmly while unscrewing!

    • @something_about_tools
      @something_about_tools  4 роки тому +1

      it's worth a shot! you may need a thinner piece of plastic to melt, you can even try a little bit of oil in the hole so that the melted plastic doesn't cool and stick to the other plastic

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

    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.
