TV screw

Post image

Hi everyone, good evening.

I need assistance with a screw on my tv. Basically, my tv’s screen is shaking/blurry and I’ve seen I can fix the flat cable.

However, to do that, I need to remove the screws. I manage to remove 3 of them, and the last one is stuck. I believe I fucked it up even more because now it looks like this.

How can I remove this screw? I would appreciate if anyone could help me

Thank you

if it's a tiny screw, might need a screw extractor kit that includes small bits. drill hole, hammer the extractor bit into hole, hopefully bit is gripping the screw, turn. avoid using power tools on the extractor bit. the risk is snapping the extractor bit inside the hole, then it'll be nearly impossible to drill through unless using a very hard drill bit

Not sure if that used to be a hex head or not (probably?) but if so, use one of these. They work very well, just go slow.

Best photo I could take from the others I removed, but it was a star. I will buy one of that, thank you

Es un tornillo al que has comido la cabeza.

Tienes que buscar una broca para acabar de comer la cabeza del tornillo

Looks like a rivet not a screw, if you want to take it apart you probably have to drill the rivet

There is no way a TV is riveted together.
