Worn out screw LCD replacement - need help
 

hey guys im really stuck and really need help with my n900 last week i broke the lcd so i bought a new lcd when i was opening my n900 i got stuck on one screw that would not open after hours of trying to open this one screw i rounded it and it no longer gripped onto my screwdriver i tryed sticking a screw with superglue but that failed too. please please help me on what i should do now i was thinking if i were to force the back of the lcd panel off would i be able to purchase that part or not because it is only one screw stopping me from replacing the lcd :(

thanks in advance

Re: Urgent: I really need help
 

How accessible is the screw?

In this situation i would normally cut a groove into the screw with a fine hacksaw blade so that I can use a flat head screwdriver. But that depends on if you can get a hacksaw blade in there.

I’ve also successfully drilled the head off a screw (on my n800) but I’d only recommend that if you have a really fine drill. I was using an engraving machine with a drill bit on it.

if i understand correctly , one of the screws on the slider behind the lcd is ruined?

Well what i did was i got a pair of wirecutters and slowly but surely i managed to get the flat bit of the wirecutters under the head of the screw and i cut the screw with the wirecutters, and i left one hole without a screw and last i ordered some original n900 screws from net and i fixed it.

Get a reverse drill and drill it out... carefully! You need some skill to do that to not harm the fittings.
