Stubborn T-8 Screws

07-26-2009, 03:44 AM

I am doing a DIY upgrade...
The T-8 screws that hold the original hard drive to the bottom plate are not moving at all for me. 2 came out easily, the other two are just getting stripped. Has anyone seen this before? Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Those are tough - do you have a pretty good quality driver?

Clean out the holes, clean the tip of the driver, and make sure to hold it squarely.

Been here a long time . . .

Try a high quality T8 Torx driver. The cheaper ones tend to strip out easily. Bondhus makes a good one. Click the link in my sig for a link.
