This guide recommends a Y1 Tri point scredriver. I bought one to try this repair and it's marginally too big :(
It does begin to bite the screw, then slips and fails. I daren't keep trying for fear of rounding the screws off, so
I'm going to try again with a Y0 and see how that goes.
Following the instructions precisely and watching Steve from Tronicsfix's tutorial, I tried to fix my screen, but now it has no power.any solutions?
