  • Stubborn T-8 Screws

    I am doing a DIY upgrade...
    The T-8 screws that hold the original hard drive to the bottom plate are not moving at all for me. 2 came out easily, the other two are just getting stripped. Has anyone seen this before? Any suggestions?

    Thanks!

    Those are tough - do you have a pretty good quality driver?

    Clean out the holes, clean the tip of the driver, and make sure to hold it squarely.
    Been here a long time . . .

      Try a high quality T8 Torx driver. The cheaper ones tend to strip out easily. Bondhus makes a good one. Click the link in my sig for a link.
