Gaming How to un-screw dull screws?

[Qtis]

Honestly they should have at least some kind of person selling normal screws (small sized) in some kind of general store even in your country

Using dull screws will (in the end) lead to you having to drill the screws off the console if you want to open it again. I'd get new screws since the drilling option is a lot more f'd up to than pay a few $$ for good screws..

ps. I'm actually waiting for the day that the industry changes all screws to Torx. A lot easier to open up things + not that fucked up for the repair services (a friend of mine told this, works at an apple service)..

Dull? Do you mean stripped?

Go to an electronic store or buy a broken dsi.

Ok, I decided to put back only the good screws back into the DSi and throw away the old ones.
I will go through the same hell I went to get a DSi just to get the screws, at the owners cost of course....

Next time put a thin rubber band between the screw driver and the screw. Works every time.
