An issue that even the expert laptop technicians need to tackle during laptop repair and upgrade is the stripped screw. While generally there are various options to remove stripped screws, the choices become limited to safely remove them when it comes to a laptop. So, you might be questioning: how to remove a stripped screw from a laptop? The basic methods for the removal of stripped screws include the use of different screwdrivers or the utilization of rubber band, aluminum foil, or superglue as additional materials. You can also use simple tools such as a pair of screw-extracting pliers or those that require more attention such as small drill bits and a drilling machine. As you see, laptop computers are susceptible to damage while removing stripped screws. So, proceed carefully.

A classic and recurring problem that most people encounter is a screw with a striped or damaged screw head attached to a laptop motherboard!

Since the screw head is totally stripped, your screwdriver is unable to get a good grip and extract the screw.
