Hello guys, last year my hdd failed so i went with my laptop at the shop so i can get it fixed with warranty. All good, but now i want to upgrade to an ssd (since the hdd is 5400rpm). When i got back my laptop from the warranty, i didn't checked my screws (who does that) because it was at a "specialized" repair center. Now when i unscrewed almost all of my screws from the bottom, i saw that 2 of them got their heads broken, so my little cross screwdrives is useless. One is holding the cd rom and another one is the second from the bottom so there is nothing there to damage. Their heads are really broken, like you can't even see the cross, just the round shaped head and a hole inside.
I searched on youtube and saw some dudes with a hand drill and with a 2.5mm screw bit and using it on the broken screws. Can i use this method or do you guys got any other method?
How can i remove them?
