    I have a stripped screw on my e6520. Anyone have any ideas how to take it out? I am trying to upgrade my RAM.

    Thanks a lot, I have tried all the standard suggestions like other screwdrivers and rubber band.

    I don't want to damage it, and I don't know what's covered by warranty and what's not (I have 5 year warranty still).

    Please help, I really want to upgrade today!!

    Depending on where it is on the case, try gently lifting or prying up the case near the screw while backing the screw out with a screwdriver.
