stripped screw removal nokia n8

ex-homelessdude

i was swapping a shattered lcd in my mobile yesterday and just about to remove the last 2 screw and they got stripped. can anyone tell me where i can get them drilled out? they tiny x5 size so cant saw them. ive looked everywhere jewellery shops opticians watch makers hardware and locksmiths with no luck.
i went to one mobile shop which quoted me £25 which is taking the jimmy riddle.
im in cental london if anyone knows anywhere specific.

thanks alot.

£25 seems quite reasonable to me !!

For £25 I would buy a cheap dremel-type device (argos, B&Q) & have a go myself. Also have a look for "screw doctor" - there are two products, one is a liquid that increases grip, the other a drill type device that cuts into the screw until it turns. Good luck.

Ebay item 310320877864 looks like the sort of thing that I used with moderate success (Acer netbook).

Depends how DIY minded the OP is.

£25 for the screw to be removed seems a lot but then they are risking damage to a £350 Phone motherboard that has to be replaced if they stuff it up.

I've got some scre remval bits like the Ebay ones but probably they won't go in anthing as small as a T5
