I stripped them so bad its not even funny and im probably the only idiot who has made this mistake on this forum.

are the screws recessed?

btw, if the driver doesnt fit perfectly, then dont use it. espically on eletronics. what u need to do is go to Micromark (google it) and get a set of jewerlers screwdrivers. they come in tiny sizes that u need

Don't Worry.
Just Return The Faceplate Or Something.
It's Useless Anyway.
Hey, Going Off Topic But Do You Know Anything About The Upcoming Halo 3? I Mean Like Are The Characters Going To Be The Same Or They'll Add A New Type Of Character?

the screws are completely like stripped almost rounded all the drivers I have wont fit.I have to find a way to get them out,put the faceplate on and buy 2 new screws(eBay)

but is it recessed? if the screwhead is sticking up a lil bit, u might be able to notch it with a dremel. dunno if its wise on a psp though.

my last bit of advice was for the future. always use the right size tools. ever deal with rounded off bolts on a car? like when some moron uses a 9/16 socket instead of a 14mm and rounds it off. fun to remove

No new characters are confirmed yet but I am really assuming one of the other surviveing spartans,arbitor

and possibly another Brute commander are going to be in it.Bungie is very good at secrets so I dont think they will release like a different species but they are mysterious.But otherwise I cant get off topic I have aproblem to solve.

unfortunatly they are not recessed so I have to find some other way to remove them but at least i learned a lesson.(and wasted money

).

we have a no double posting policy here and youve done it twice in this thread. one more time and its a one week ban

now, back on topic, theres not alot of easy ways to remove a stripped screw. could buy a special bit that grips stripped screw heads... another way is to take a junk driver and dab a lil jb weld on the end and stick it in the screw and make it so its straight up. let it dry and back the screw out... not sure if it will work though

HALOBOY · 12-12-2006, 01:00 AM

New update I found out only one of the screws are stipped that I need to remove!Yay hope.But I still need to remove that one striped screw so my dad suggests to drill it out with a drumel and drill bit and remove it with plyers(spellinglol)But is this a risk or am I good to go.

julie · 12-12-2006, 01:20 AM

alright its in the attachment its kinda bad quality but both of those screws are stripped(if you can see)Only the one on the left has to be removed so thats the only one that would have to be drilled.

have u tryed sticking a flat head screw driver in the remains of the screw and twisting it out?
