FINALLY !!

After multiple screwdriver attempts, super glue attempts, rubber band/nitrile glove attempts, stripped hand screwdriver attempts, I finally just went to a laptop repair shop and they got the damn last screw out in 15 minutes. 2nd image is how hilariously bad I stripped it. Every single thing I did was making it worse.

Love the bumped back so much, literal endgame device !!! Also learn from me DO NOT FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY USE THE SCREWDRIVER THAT CAME WITH THE DEVICE, RETROID PLEASE STOP SENDING THEM THANK YOU 🙏

My Nova screw got so stripped I want to scream…

Used the provided tool in the box. Stripped it pretty bad. Got a new screwdriver set. Stripped it even worse. Tried a rubber band, tried a nitrile glove nothing. Tried super glue method. Used too much now there’s glue all in it. I want to curl in a ball because I’m so frustrated 😭

But genuinely besides this the Nova is the best device I’ve ever used and my end game and literally have 0 complaints besides this. I just want to vent ugh….
