Rounded a screw

#1 Post by TonyJZX » Mon Jul 20, 2015 12:22 am

I would normally search first but there doesnt seem to be a function here.

Ok I was opening up a laptop and those long pins wouldnt come out. Anyway its rooted so whats the best way to get the long screw/pin out?

The Search function is at the top of this page.
I don't know any Thinkpad with "long pins".
Please be more specific.

I take it you have stripped a screw?
