PSP Stripped Screw

5 months ago I changed my faceplate for my PSP. But I had the stupid idea of changing it again to the original psp faceplate for fun, and this is what happens. Stripped screw, and I cannot really do nothing about it. So I need some pointers on how to fix this problem.

i stripped my screw on the wifi turn on side and my analog moves by itself since the screww got stripped

[SilentMagic]

That is weird your analog stick moves. Have you found a way to take it off yet?

ya you jus use a power drill with the bit u use to drill holes and use the smallest one u can find i say one as big as the screw and only drill of the top part and pull off be careful not to go farther than that u could fuck it up if u hit a crucial part

I have the same problem did you figure out how to get it out?

@afiqsince86 I cannot see the exact size of the screw head, but it looks to be about the same size as i have removed from other electrical appliances. If the head is larger than 3mm and it has a stripped Phillips head or Allen head, I would say that it should work very well.

The main thing is that it needs a small indentation in the head of the screw, so that the cutting blades can grip into what is left of the metal.

@ozzirt cool thanx but i still need just this 1 question to confirm 1st bfore getting it, does it works on that tiny psp screw like on this vid?

[ozzirt]

@afiqsince86 They are the best answer that I have found yet. I had a stripped Allen head screw down in an access hole 5cms deep. It worked first time.

Take your time, push down firmly and make sure that your drill is in reverse keep the pressure downwards until the screw is clear,... Out it comes.

Search for: 3 PIECE SCREW REMOVER SET 3 PIECE BY LASER 3693 NEW, they are about $8.00 but worth every penny of it. When you are finished, you still have the tools for future emergencies.

Never again,will I get those electrician guys to fix my psp -_- they break my screws and forces meh to make them fix it at a high price >.>

[ozzirt]

FFS buy yourself a screw remover off EBay, and just screw it out. WTF is so damned hard about that.
