    Hey guys,
    I have a serious problem. I own a DV6T Quad Edition 6100 Series, and I have a stripped screw on the back cover. I would be eternally grateful if someone could give me any solution to this problem. I'm very frustrated because I have to re-apply my thermal paste. Thanks in advance.

    Drill out the hole a little bit and see if you can get a pair of needle head pliers in there.

    Yeah you need to drill the screw out but do it very gentle :p good luck. Or if its a bit loose, superglue onto a screwdriver and try get it out.
