Comment on Screw stripped

How did you apply the super glue?

This is difficult since obviously you don’t want to apply too much pressure on delicate electronics, but I have dealt with many strips, screws in cabinets and have a pretty good success rate, although one time using super glue, I just used a sacrificial crappy screwdriver, and had to end up holding the screwdriver to the screw with pressure. Applying super glue, and holding the sacrificial screwdriver with pressure for 10 minutes until I was sure it had bonded, but with such small margins of screw to a back plate and such a thin screwdriver, I’m not sure that will work with your deck.

If you have any access to the screw at all and play between the back plate and the casing, there are very thin hacksaw blades you could buy from a home improvement store and you could manually cut through the top of the screw and then use needle nose pliers to unscrew the bottom of the screw from its setting, since you should have some threads sticking out of the setting.

Can you throw up a couple pictures?

Best of luck, I hope my explanations are in vain and you’ve already solved it.
