@eyals4,

 

I want you to work safely.  So, put on a pair of (safety) glasses, and use the smallest flathead screwdriver you can find in order to gently place it between the screwhead and the case as a lever, while at the same time using a Philips screwdriver to rotate anti-clockwise. By increasing the leverage pressure on the flathead screwdriver downwards, you should be able to lift the screw out.

 

Kind Regards,

@eyals4,

 

Do you mind to zoom out a little bit and retake the picture?

 

I would like to have a clearer idea where exactly this screw is located on your laptop.

 

Kind Regards,

@eyals4,

 

Darn-it, that doesn't look great. Is there anyone within your direct circle of friends or trusted family members who you would consider reasonably DIY-proficient or preferably computer-savvy, who can take a look at it?  Perhaps even a computer nerd at work/school?

 

It is difficult from afar, so to speak, to tell you what to do -especially if further manipulations may cause additional damage.  Obviously, the screw should have come right out, just like it did the first time.

 

I would hate to suggest this because I really don't want you to spend any extra money, but another option would be to consider taking your laptop to a local computer repair shop and have them fix this issue.

 

Kind Regards,
