I have trouble with a broken screw

[neoontime]

It all started i when i accidently stepped on my PSP. It seemed like no problem since i knew how to fix it. Though while trying to take my PSP apart, I stripped one of the screws near the battery. I honestly don't know what to do since the hole is so small and i might break something while trying to take it out. please tell me how to safely and easily take it out. thank you

A tiny magnetic screwdriver and a replacement screw?

Thermite.

OT: i'd suggest not doing repairs yourself. If its out of warranty then you'll probably have to disassemble it and pop it out from the inside.

Shake shake shake shake uh shake it!

In all seriousness though, I have no idea. What does "stripped" mean?

It means he smoothed out the hole in a screw.

melt the plastic around the screw. that should work.
Or use some kind of magnet maybe?

Chainsaw. If you solve your problems with a chainsaw, you'll never have the same problem twice.

I've never done this but, using a small file to re-cut the notches in the head of the screw could work.

Telekinesis works fairly well for me, but make sure your practiced and have a clear view or you could end up severely damaging you psp.

Hooray for Malcolm.

OT: Magnetic screwdriver. You can also re-tread the screw path later if you want. But that's a trade secret so you have to ask nicely
