bigtemarifan, I think besides the obvious "I don't have a drill, but I have a soldering kit", the main reason to do this is not to run the risk of damaging the threads.

Just got a completely stripped screw out using this technique! Worked like a charm. For those who have problems getting the solder to stick to the screw head, just make sure to heat the screw head long enough otherwise it wont stick. Good luck!

I was skeptical but this approach worked like a champ! Thank you for posting.

I found my new pet peeve. Laptop manufacturers are just way too cheap to provide us with better screws that won't easily strip without applying semi-pressure on it. -My personal experience with Asus and Acer laptops.

Not to be argumentative but I do hope you are aware this occurs when you try taking a small JIS screw out with a Phillips driver instead of a JIS one.

I found ASUS to be somewhat decent when it comes to screws. ACER is much worse workmanship and materials overall The same goes for Gateway and some HP models

Same with my Acer laptop

The trick with soldering is that the screw must be hot enough to melt the solder. If you just drop a bit of melted solder onto a cold screw then the solder won't stick. Keep your solder iron tip on the screw for a few seconds before touching the solder to it. When you touch the solder at the point where the soldering iron tip meets the screw and the solder flows nicely, then you have a good chance of the solder sticking to the screw. Everything MUST be clean... use rubbing alcohol first.

Thank you bob, your advice really helped a lot

That was genius! Used the phillips head on the tiny stripped screw and voila, instant success after an afternoon of meltdown! Thanks very much!

Thank you so much for this video. With its help, I helped my nephew save his laptop. Worded so well! Amazing!

THIS WORKS! After spending an hour trying to get a screw out using other methods, I soldered a nail clip on the crew and just rotated it! it works like a charm!!! Thanks so much!

Thanks dude - I never thought of this! I had a torx screw completely rounded on my blackberry 9900 and other methods (flat-heads, bigger torx etc) didn't work. this method with a paper clip was awesome! Thanks again :)

Hey, just dropping by to say thanks for this video. This technique helped me undo a stripped screw from my old Galaxy S5 housing.

Great idea, was going to get a drill for my laptop but wasn't very fond of that idea. Thanks.

thank you I can't explain how much this helped, I had a screw that was completely hopeless nothing could remove it from the laptop without causing damage. first time I tried it didn't work, the second time I made some sharp cuts in the screw then cleaned it well, after that it's 100% like the video

lucky that I have all that equipment at home ...

I can report a method adapted from this one worked for me; I applied some solder, then cut a groove for a screwdriver in it. Voila! Saved! Thanks!

this tutorial just saved my life... thx

I used this method on an old laptop I removed 3 screw. The first one I used resistor but the two screws are stacked up so I just add lots of solder on top of the screw then use a small flier to turn it counter clockwise and it works.. Thank you...

This was an extremely useful tip! I am thankful. hopefully it will get me out of this issue right now. Thanks ;)

thank you for this video one of the screws in my ipod touch was stripped and this helped out so much

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT IS WORKING!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

That really works! Got a really stuck stripped mini screw here inside an iphone. Tryed superglue, rubber, tilted tools, all with no success. Got it with this method. because it was very stuck it was necessary to repeat the process several times and to use a pretty rigid iron instead of the resistor

I didn't believe it at first, but it actually works! The major binding force is from the thread locker (such as loctite) on these tinny screws. I think it's the alcohol and HEAT that do the trick to loose the thread locker, and the screw can be easily taken off without much force on the soldered resistor.

Very useful, Thank You so much for this video, I was actually having difficulty to remove a Stripped screw on my MacBook, I wanted to change my WIFI Card, but screw securing the display data cable bracket to the upper case was actually stripped, I tried multiple solutions but none of them worked, at last I found your video to be helpful and I can just hope this will fix my problem, I will definitely try this tomorrow and If it worked I won't mind donating something to you. seriously. Thank You

last thing i was expecting to hear on this was nujabes :)

I used it it works like a charm ! I opened a stripped screw of my phone, thanks a lot

this DOES work (i literally just did it), but obviously it won't work for a screw that has been tightened a lot. the wire on the resistor would bend before the screw budges. if you're having that problem try a component that uses thicker wire, such as LEDs. you could try a needle or something similar. also, in my case it worked without the alcohol. BE CAREFUL NOT TO MELT ANY PLASTIC. if the solder doesn't stick to the screw up the heat on your iron, but be a lot more careful. if the screw isn't metallic in colour it probably has a coating you need to scrape off.

Glad I was on the right track with the soldering though

Very cool glad you shared was not looking forward to figuring out how to get it out and ordering more tools and thx to your video I seen already had all I need 😀

Genius!!Thanks sooo much!

I tried your method but instead of a resistor, I used a needle. Sadly, the needle broke when I tried to rotate the stripped screw. Nevertheless, I just filled the screw with solder metal then twisted it using the pliers. It works like charm. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing the information

It worked! thank you! I bought several screwdrivers...

Can confirm it works! You can use anything solid to rotate the screw. In my case i just angled the screwdriver and turned it like an allen wrench.

Brilliant! Thank you so much!

thanks for the great idea!

Really helpful tip, really bad zooming. Thanks for this. :)

Thanks for the trick dude, I used a paper clip instead of a resistor (and vodka instead of alcohol) and it worked like a charm! Gotta admit I was pretty skeptic since they were also pretty stuck in there as well, but it all ended up like expected :D

Thank you so much... This is genius

I was very hopeful for this approach to work. However, Dell not only used low quality screws that get stripped very easily, they also used ones that don't react to solder. What a joke...

That's smart.

Hold the iron on the screw for a few seconds and then try to melt the solder onto it. Worked for me.

Very good tip, sometimes lens screws have threadlocker and the iron tip helps break it down

this is a good strategy, hey thanks

What you need: Alcohol Me: **looking at my hand sanitizer** My hand sanitizer: Dont even think about it

I have an OpenPandora w/ stripped screws. (I'm trying to upgrade the board.) I'll have to give this a shot when I get the chance.

This is perfect lifehack... no more drilling ^^ thanks :)

Like a pro!! Nice!!

You can scratch the screw a little bit with a sharp too, sometime it helps !

Brill vid very good technique will try this sometime

If the screw is stuck in so hard that a driver strips it, the relatively soft solder will do nothing. This will only work if an already stripped screw is inserted loosely.

Thanks a lot for your effective technic

Amazing! Thanks.

Excellent

Without HAVING to drill them ;-) (or without drilling them) What type of solder do you use for that? I am a little surprized it didn't snap right off.

Great video... amazing!!

awesome!

Thank you!

Sweet. Only method that fixes the screw after as well

Lifesaver! Thank you :)

Just want to say you are an absolute genius. Thanks so much

i was wondering what type of solder was used in the video to take out the computer screw

Genius!

Screws are soft, the tools are softer and 2 are in there like a tick, rounded out the T5 and the tiny screw driver as if somebody used superglue on the threads when screwing these 2 in. How much would it cost to do this right... almost 3k laptop and you can't remove the screws, insane.

yes bro thank u i forsure have sodder at home when i dont even have a drill

It actually worked! I did this with a pushpin 📌

genius

I used lead-free 96/4 silver-bearing solder and it couldn't stick to the screw. Don't know whether I should use standard rosin-core solder. Anyone knows?

i am fully in love with you i swear... saved me $200 at my local comp repairer

samurai champloo music :D

i love you for this tip thx man ;)

this method saved my dad's laptop XD

I have that trouble with a Hard Disk can you help me?

Thats gangster

can i use a paperclip together with a heavy object to unscrew a small screw?

Solder only welds properly when both surfaces get to the melting point of the solder, otherwise it's just sitting on the metal, and not stuck to it.

What type of desoldering braid is that

This is like performing surgery, what the hell? I just want to clean my fan, but the screws are too small and tight. What couldn't they make things easier for us?

Can it still work on a black screw on the motherboard without damaging it?

Thank you 👏

I wonder the solidering is strong enough to hold still !

what would work in place of a resistor? guessing any old wire wont do...

what about if the Screw head Broken inside that Hole how do you take out Thanks for a nice trick
