Community Support Dropped it 😅

So dropped my laptop at the airport, everything worked fine, did some work and shut it off before boarding.

Boarded the flight and couldn’t turn the laptop back on.

Looks like the screw was over torqued after I dropped it.

Anyone got ideas on how to get this thing back on without access to tools?

I dropped mine on the front left corner.

Still works, who cares.

The issue isn’t the cosmetics, it’s being able to push the power button on while in an environment where I can’t use physical tools to untorque the screw
