Tosh F3 Screw

OneADay · 2012-05-03 15:18:39

Trying to replace a hard drive in a Tosh laptop - have done it before with some difficulty because of the screw being very awkward to get out. Can't remember what I did last time or what I used - but now I can't seem to get the screw out. Its marked F3. Anyone got ideas? Is that T3 screwdriver?

yup, that often works...a lot depends on how much threadlock they used when assembling it - I've had some where the whole length of the thread was caked in the bl00dy stuff

Bizarrely, it also sometimes helps to tighten the screw slightly first

How do I add a signature?
