    This is so terrible. So I start to install my ram and follow the instructions for removing the keyboard. Everything goes fine until the second keyboard screw (inside the rampanel) for some reason didn't want to budge. Inaively simply tried harder, and stripped the screw head almost completely. Looking online suggested superglue to remove stripped screws. It was not near strong enough, and now I just have a gooey stripped screw sitting in my laptop that I hate worse than the devil.

    What should I do? I'm going to take the ThinkPad to my schools ITS center tomorrow to see if they can remove it.
