Hello I have a Samsung laptop. I wanted to clean it, but the screw is broken. Instead of a cross there is o. How to unscrew this screw?

Do you have the option to file the sides of the head and catch it with pliers?

Unfortunately not. The screw is screwed in tightly.

Cover everything around and drill it gently using this screwdriver slot.

She's not that crazy, little one flat you should unscrew it with a screwdriver.

I tried, but only turned on a little. I was afraid I'd break this screw even more.

Use a flat, hard screwdriver to tap something lightly into the screw and it must release.

In this state, the only way is to smash it more ... As above, choose the size of a flat screwdriver so that it fits into the head of the screw as tightly as possible, tighten it carefully and try to unscrew it.

I would fit a Phillips screwdriver and sharpen the tip itself so that each of the arms of the cross would form something like the blade of a cutter / reamer. Each pressure and attempt to unscrew would cut the blade, the four blades, into the screw head. More than one screw has succumbed to this method.

You can and yes ... But in my opinion the fastest and most sensible solution is a 2mm drill. Alternatively, there are special kits for removing damaged screws, but is the skin worth a layette ...

How can I unscrew a laptop screw whose cross head is stripped into a round hole?

Use a flat-blade screwdriver that fits the damaged head as tightly as possible, tap it in lightly if needed, and try to turn the screw out; if that still fails, drill the head with a 2 mm bit or use a damaged-screw removal kit [#15109233] [#15109248] [#15109353] One reply also suggests filing the screw head’s sides and gripping it with pliers, but the thread mostly recommends making a better flat-slot drive or drilling it out [#15109168] [#15109248]

Ok, thanks, but I found an old, half-sliced flat screwdriver at home and managed to unscrew it.
