i ordered a CPU to upgrade my old dell laptop and in preparation i started to disassemble it to get to the CPU ready to install when it arrives hopefully tomorrow
i took out about 2 dozen screws but the last screw i need to get out is threaded, and i can't get the top of the laptop off to get at the mobo/CPU. i googled up a few suggestions but whilst i have a load of different screwdrivers i don't have a drill setup and wouldn't want to try drilling near my laptop as i'm not the best/neatest person to do stuff like that
does anyone have any tips or tricks to get this out? like using heat or superglue?
the screw is down a hole thats about 1cm down and it's a small screw like on a power plug, so i can't use plyers to unscrew, which is what i often do in similar cases like this
it's really annoying as i've wasted money if i can't get it open, and i'm not completely confident about getting it all back together again and working, although i haven't done anything rash yet. it doesn't look like i can just force it off by breaking it as i'm likely to break something bad, and not like the tv show
any tips or help would be greatly appreciated, thanks
