- Hope this video gives an idea on how to remove stripped screw on a laptop.
Stripped screw can be frustrating because it will hold up your project. By the time you get to it, your energy is all worn out. Removing a stripped screw is not that difficult. Just make sure safety first, backup all your data to external HD or cloud and give yourself plenty of time and patience.
Good luck !

Thanks for the video. The drill method worked well enough to get me past a totally stripped case screw. I wish Dell wouldn't install them so darn tight at the factory!
Glad it worked out for you
Haha I'm having the same issue with my Dell G15. Two screws so tight I think I accidentally stripped one lol
Mine is a dell too lol they don’t want us repairing it ourselves i guess
A dell one as well
i think it is caused by the blue glue they add to keep them from loosening
Thank you. I used this process to remove the screw on the back of my dell laptop. The kit available on amazon for removing a stripped screw didn't work but using a left-hand small drill the same size or a little smaller (less than 1/16 " in diameter) did work to remove the head of the tiny screw.
i tested out with my dad that a good way to unscrew an useless screw is by using a cut plier and should be placed exactly on the line of the cross. It worked wonders and was saved.
Clarification, you should put enough force until the cut plier doesn't slip (the screw is soft enough for it to be cut a bit), so try to do so as last resort and trust me, it will work.
"exactly on the line of the cross" requires the screw to not be completely stripped (which has no cross), no?
@@cestladope even if it is stripped, it can be done. However, is a last resort. The screws should be better made tho haha
The rubber band method stripped it even more haha
Try using this drill bit stripped screw removal. amzn.to/2UpDZ3y
might help if you use a metal drill bit vs. a wood bit. When I have this issue, I use my dremmel with cutting wheel to cut a new channel straight across the top of the screw head. Then simply use a standard flat head screwdriver and replace the screw once it's out.
Glad it helped
Where do you buy appropriate replacement screws?
I had to drill out two screws on the bottom of a thinkpad I bought from eBay. Drilled out the heads, however the remnants of the screws are still there. Need to figure out how to get the rest out and put new screws in.
I stripped a screw connecting the heatsink to my laptops motherboard. I ordered a screw extractor on Amazon and drilled it out. Not as destructive as just beating the screw to a pulp.
Glad you are able to get the stripped screw out.
Brah same screw for the bracket of the cpu stripped. Do you have to screw down very far with the screw extractor? Shit has me nervous af since it's right over the cpu.
@@P4PKing yeah, just remember to go counter clockwise, mine popped out abruptly and scared the shit out of me, but at the end everything was working just fine. I did have to go deep and hard if you know what I mean. xd
What screw extractor did you buy exactly ? thanks
@@brandoncruz1744 lmAo I got that bastard out
confirm it works. Although it's time consuming and troublesome compared to those "clever" methods, but it works. thanks
i like to use pliers (the once that cut wire or nails) and get a hold on the screw-heads outside
what if you cant use a drill, for example the ssd drive inside your laptop or wifi card?
I find drill is best way to remove stripped screws.
@@UbergeeksBiz a drill huh? then what type of screw do i need with it for the drill?
@@sunzalea3257 Something like this: amzn.to/3g7J6fr
My m2 ssd screw were stripped. I use this method and was able to remove it from my asus laptop.
8:34 instantly worked for me. Thank you very much man!!!
dremmel thin cutting disk cut slash / line across then use small flat head screwdriver ....
Use a dremel tool and make a slant then use a flathead screwdriver you risk ruining the threads on the case this way.
Good suggestion. Will give that a try
Hi UberGeeks! I own an Asus R556L and its battery is expanding so i decided to take it out, however one screw is stripped and i used whatever means necessary including using a hack saw but i was very carefull not to damage the laptop, but the scew still cannot be removed. I wonder if i should just force remove the laptop surface? I really need to remove its battery
What have you tried so far ?
@@UbergeeksBiz the infamous rubber band technique didnt work for me, i hacksawed the screw in attempt to make it into a flat screw but i think i made it worse and now i regret it. I am yet to try the super glue technique
@@rolliejohn2342 Good luck to you. To me, rubber band and glue technique do not work majority of the time. I only have good success with drill. And with drill, you have to be very careful not to miss judgement. Or else, it can be very bad.
Had same problem yesterday lad, definitely skew gave me hard time and I tried everything to remove it, on the end I need it to break peace of battery where is skew after that I made it to remove battery without damaging anything, today prices of items are so huge and quality is sht
Has anyone had any luck or techniques with M2 ssd screws?
why did you not use the plier at the beginning in first place before doing all the drilling? the plier could've grabbed onto the screw head from the outside anyway. No need to try to drill or anything like that.
The harder more realistic scenario is if the stripped screw is actually inside a screw hole that prevents you from being able to use the plier to grab the head from the outside. Then you might consider using a drill or even a tiny chisel to try to eventually break off the head completely to allow you to free the lid that was being held in place by the screw lid. Once you can remove the lid, that will reveal the screw stump to allow for removal with using a plier to grab onto the stump.
Problem is I have a very flat like flush flat head screw yeah this would not work
It's called a "drill bit".
Thanks !
I don't have a drill or screw driver please help me.
Yikes.... not much to help without the right tool
Thank you
You're welcome
Drill wood and plastic at high speed
Metal at slow speed
Is there anyway to do this without screwdriver? :’(
You mean drill ?
@@UbergeeksBiz oh, yes the drill
@@Weigazod no.
I wanted to change the thermal paste of my laptop CPU GPU but this process is too risky to follow because the screw is tightened through the motherboard.
@UberGeeks can you suggest some other way?
Which laptop CPU ?
@@UbergeeksBiz i5 9300H
@@VikrantKumar2015 I personally have tried many other ways. But ultimately, drill is my solution to all stripped screw. You need a steady hand when drilling.. lol
@@UbergeeksBiz stead AF lol!
They make screws out of fucking butter these days
I have noticed this with Apple they put their stupid screws as if the LCD or the screen is going to get up and run, the reason they do it, is they want to make it as difficult as possible, so you don't get to repair anything, you just dump it and buy a new one. There is no need in the world to tighten screws in this way and mostly they use Torkx screws which are known to easily strip and get damaged. Sod Apple.
I freakin scare to drill my laptop 😂
Hi UberGeeks, I tried to add another sad to my MSI prestige 15 A10SC. But the mounting screw in the laptop is super tight. I tried a screwdriver and then even a plier. I tried to turn it harder and then it's pretty stripped. Can you give me any tips about how to unscrew it? Thanks so much!
I think it's a 2 mm drill bit
Thank you. You are right.
Hi Ubergeeks, i was wondering if its possible to use soldering iron to remove the screws? would it be possible to use it as an alternative to the drill?
I have not tried soldering iron to remove stripped screws. Maybe soldering iron might not hot enough to melt the screw ? I always have good luck with the drill. But make sure you know when to stop and not drill too deep. Good luck
It might work if you put some solder inside the hole and insert the screwdriver while it's hot... but if the screw is too stubborn the solder will be pried out ...
the best way is to make a slant using a Dremel tool, file, cutters or whatever and use a slotted screwdriver to unscrew...
Yeah too easy, but those tools are not available in my country lmfao
Try regular drill. Might work
Hi Ubergeeks , can you please update the Amazon links ?
Just want to be sure I order exactly what you are using .
Updated. Thanks
@@UbergeeksBiz thank you so much!
use a drill bit intended to cut metal instead of wood. They are completely different.
