Product: HP Envy x360 13-0y13cl
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello,

 

I am having some trouble dealing with stripped screws. I am trying to remove the bottom cover of my HP Envy x360 13-0y13cl laptop but the screws were so tight that they would never budge. I was able to take 3 out of the 8 screws out but the rest are stripped and damaged. What would be the best way to remove them now? I am still under warranty for another month. 

 

If I can get any help with this that would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Usually I try to cut in to them with a dremmel-like tool to create a way to extract them. However maybe you could try the suggestios of this ifixit video:

Thanks for the tips!

 

I'll have to try this later with a thicker rubber band.  I'll keep you updated.
