stripped screw.....
« on: March 14, 2009, 05:27:30 PM »
OK so i bought myself a clear faceplate and during the process i stripped one of the screws. Its the one on the bottom by the serial number. Its stuck in the actual psp itself, i can take off the original faceplate and its still there. Does any one know a remedy for this?

Drill the top of it till it break off. Then use pliers to remove the rest of the screw.

You really only have 2 options, try the ol' superglue on the screwdriver tip trick or drill out the screw with a drill press (recommended) or use a dremmel NOT a regular drill. Just use the smallest drill bit you can find it SHOULD be the same width as the diameter of the screw part of the screw. Just take another screw out to find the diameter.

just make sure you got nail polish remover with acitone in it to disolve the super glue on the screwdriver if you go the old superglue on the tip of the screwdriver route works for me 99% of the time
