Hello,
Last night I opened up my acer aspire 3830tg to do some minor modding to the interior of the case, as well as to remove and re-apply the thermal paste that's inside. After stripping the computer down little by little I eventually got to the CPU and GPU, where I am required to remove what seems to be the cooling components, which are screwed onto the motherboard. I cannot even describe how ridiculously tight these screws are, I have tried applying WD-40, striking the screwdriver while it is inside the screw with a hammer, even doing the same to the reverse side of the screw, nothing seems to work at all, it simply won't budge.
This isn't just one screw I'm talking about, it is literally all of them, it's like the manufactures super glued the screws in or something. What can I do to remove these ******* screws? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
