Today I brought My Kingston A2000 SSD and I am so happy after purchasing it.
So I took out my laptop and safely opened all the screws and removed the back lid. Now It's Time to install M.2 SSD to M.2 Slot and I went straightforward to the toolbox picked the right tool and begin unscrewing the M.2 screw but that screw was so over-tightened that I can't even rotate that screw and in order to do so the screw got STRIPPED/Damaged.
I am feeling so unhappy and so annoyed after this.
Now in my toolbox there is not a single screw-driver which can unscrew that stripped screw. I can't even go to HP Service Center as they are too Far from my home.
Now I am stuck...
Why do Manufacturers Over-tighten the M.2 screw so that nobody can open that without advanced tools?
And this is not my case only there is literally everyone facing this issue.
Sorry for being rude if i sound like that but really I am annoyed.
