PSP screws

OK I am having trouble with the PSP screws. I am trying to repair a broken screen but I can't even get the screws off. A couple of months ago I had this same problem and instead of using a 1.4mm screwdriver like the manual said I used a 2.4mm screwdriver and it got the screws out. Now I have tried using all screw sizes on a different PSP and I cannot get one of the screws. I am letting some WD-40 sit on it right now but I don't think that will do much. Are there any suggestions or past experiences that could help me out?

I have had that problem before, are the screwdrivers just slipping or can you just not get them off at all

They are slipping. I am going to go to a jeweler or something but a self fix would be much appreciated. Could you IM me on AIM so we can just chat about it quickly. I'm mavsman4457.

I would reccomend buying a "nice" set of small sized screwdrivers. I purched a set made by Stanley with a rubber grip. It helped out a lot.

I took apart 2 PSPs with GREAT difficulty lol. Took ages to get off the screws. I had to put my hand in a cloth to stop the screwdriver digging into my fingers :O but after I installed the faceplate, I lossened the screws so it woul be easier to undo next time

go to an eye senter they have the perfect screws if thats what you need. Or get a screw driver with a rotating handle and a magnetic tip. Oder then that i never had a problem. Sounds like you wasted away the head of your screws
