    Hello.
    I have a problem with my graphics card.
    One screw did not want to unscrew and was unfortunately knocked out. Now the square looks more like ... and not a cross.

    How to unscrew it now?

    Will I find someone in Warsaw who will undertake it?

    As it is electronics, I do not see any way to use more forceful means here - so as not to destroy anything.

    Probably someone will go to me soon, or he will crush my advice, but I helped myself ... so:

    If you unscrew the screw a little, then cut off the head with a saw blade (NOTE! If there is space and you know that you will not damage anything with this blade), after cutting off you will take out the card and twist out the rest with pliers or "pliers", just make sure that you can unscrew it. good luck.

    If you have this blade, they are of different sizes, cut it on the head and try with a flat screwdriver.
    A Dremel would also be of assistance with this incision, but be careful.

    The screw sits directly on the PCB of the card.
    Nothing could be unscrewed, it sits tight.
    Preview photo, the screw is yellow.
    Its grooves are broken.
    It is GTX480.

    From what I can see, it is possible to either grab the screw head with new sharp side pliers and try to unscrew it, or even try to get under it from underneath to undercut it. It seems to me that even if we would partially damage the CD, if there were no tracks and elements (in this area) in it, it would still work.

    Do you absolutely have to unscrew it?

    It is best to cut and unscrew a flat one. Just cut fairly deeply and have a well-shaped screwdriver. Nothing hard.

    Hello .
    I personally have two screws for these screws:
    - a suitable wide, very sharp flat screwdriver, press it into the broken cross socket of the screw
    - gentle boring (preferably with a screwdriver) of the screw head
    Good luck .

    Just drill down, the copper print at this point is the mass of the chip.
    After removing the head, you can twist it out with pliers.

    A whole lot of posts and more and more sophisticated patents a little own initiative and the author's thought would be enough (because he is the one who has direct eye contact with this case - the more that he did not include any real photo, only "preview" - as he said) and the problem would have been resolved long ago.

    And if there is no initiative?
    The problem is, however, and they write here about other rubbish, such as: making a breast cast with clear nipples :|

    Try to drill this screw with a very small drill bit and then more and more, maybe you will succeed :D

    A colleague is right, the only thing that is a screwdriver, a drill, and after the case, after drilling, the card will come out normally and you will unscrew the rest of the pin from the screw by hand, this is the fastest and sure way, that's how I did in the laptop and I recommend it

    I recommend using the left drill bit to countersink the head of the screw. Often, when drilling, the screw is unscrewed.

    So yeah

    -there is no way to approach this screw with anything, you would have to pick the PCB in order to approach it.

    The screwdriver ... does not have this.
    Should I really drill into a delicate PCB with a screwdriver?
    The idea is to take it out WITHOUT damaging the PCB.

    I cut the screw on one side with hacksaws deep, but it doesn't go.


    If there is someone brave from Warsaw, I will pay for the service of twisting it.

    Buddy, the multi-grinder .. it's such a cool tool with which you can fire this screw in less than 10 seconds ;)
    If you don't have it, ask your friends, maybe someone does, and made in china / taiwan multi-grinders cost up to PLN 100 ;)
