I decided on cleaning my laptop fans today, which I’ve been procrastinating for about a year now because of this one screw. But I just can’t seem to open this with my screwdriver, since whatever I did back when I last opened it it’s nearly circular now. Is there a way to unscrew this?
Take the drill bit out of your drill. Open the chuck up all the way and place it over the screw. If there is enough screw head there you might be able to grab it with the drill and just unscrew.
Edit: looking at the other picture makes me think it is recessed and that wouldn’t work then.
Cripes, it never even occurred to me that you could do this with a chuck. Thanks for expanding my mind.
