Use a sharp edged tool like a small chisel to score a nock from the screwdriver slot to the edge of the screw head. Then, use a small hammer and the edge of a flat blade screwdriver to drive the damaged screw around and around until it comes loose. Be careful placing the edge of the screwdriver blade in the nock that you created so that it will push against the nock instead of slipping out. You might want to use the chisel instead of a flat blade screwdriver since it already fits the nock you made. Be sure that any screw that you use as a replacement has fine threads instead of coarse threads. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
