Stripped screw damnit. I had one screw left, and it wont come off. Yes, I am using a tri-wing. This sucks so back, all my money is waisted from my equipment I bought.

There are other tricks to make it come off ;).

I'll help if you post a picture of it.

My dads got the camera for the day, but maybe I can explain it to you.


Its the little black screw thats to the top left of the battery part that comes out.

There is a circle shape around the area that the screw driver needs to go in, which is the damage caused from trying to unscrew it.

haha, never mind.

I was able to get it out with a flathead screwdriver. It wasnt stripped as bad as I thought.

lucky. I stripped out two screws (got the wrong size tri-wing driver with my order). I was able to carefull drill them out with a hand drill. My wii is not that secure screw wise... so many missing screws...

nicely done. Hope you leave the screw out when you reassemble or replace it with a new screw.

also, to anyone who searches this thread after suffering the same issue, I've read of a few ways to get out of this jam. One person used a soldering iron and held it on the screw for a short while. It heated the plastic, causing it to expand. The screw subsequently came right out. Hope this helps.
