    Ok, I am about to break this screwdriver. All this afternoon, I was trying to remove the screws off of the bracket of my old cd/dvd drive. But these screw are sooooo tight. SIgh. Right now I am using a small phillip screwdriver and still the screws wouldnt bude. Any recommendation for a screwdriver set or any ideas how to remove these stubborn screws WILL BE appreciated.

    You just need the right fit for the screwdriver. The one you're using is probably too big if it's sliding out of the grooves.

    What do you mean by sliding out? Sliping out?

    Thanks

    The best thing you can buy is the swiss knife "cyber tool"

    It has all the stuff you need for computers in one tool! and the price is about 40$, I have one of those and I very satisfied with it.

    Check the attached pic!

    Ok, do I really need to have this bracket to secure the new drive?

    If you still need a screwdriver, Eddie from Geared2Play gives them out when buying anything from him, and it works well, and it's amusing to boot :)

    Send him a PM and see if you can buy one off him or something.
