Big screw stuck in a laptop's small screw hole.

Hello, I put the wrong screw in to the plastic screw way/hole (whatever you call it) and it is now stuck. It is ph00 head (same across the laptop). Please help me to get it out.

Can I use superglue? or is there a better way to do it?

Thanks.

use a small sewing/acupuncture needle to get you some wedge. Try then gently to screw it out. Or pour some glue on the needle to superglue it.

Let us know what worked. so others can follow it

First, using superglue won't work, i tried.

I will try other methods.

Personally I wouldn’t use the glue as it will just fill the screw head and complicate the job.

Stuck screw:

Most important is that correct size screw driver is used so you get maximum torque.

IFIXIT’s Jimmy (best)

Jimmy

or a pocket or Swiss Army knifer blade to wedge under screw head to give leverage.

There is no way that anything would else other than screwdriver fit in the hole, let alone sidling thought edge of the screw as it is literally the perfect fit ever.

Remember when aswering theses questions we are also speaking to other readers, not just the one asking the question so I am happy your screw driver is the correct size.

If I have understood you correctly, you may have to gently cut into the plactic to get an edge under the screw head then use the Jimmy or knive.

@aactech I agree with mike here, If your screw is a perfect fit into the hole not allowing you to fit anything between the gaps. You may definitely have to cut into the plastic a little.

I have only encountered a few issues like this but I would try.

1.) Finding something like a pick or an item thin enough to fit in the gap between the screw head & plastic to give you some leverage as you turn the screw.

2.) Place some strong glue into the screw head then insert your screwdriver see if that gives you enough grip to get it out.

3.) If you have a strong magnet attach this to your screwdriver as some times some extra magnet strength can help.

Please let me know if any of these worked, if you tried something else could you let me know what you tired as i would also like to learn a few other ways for those tough screws.
