May be the dumbest thread ever but I can't unscrew the screws on my gamepad to change the battery:

The screwdriver is the correct one
Screws are not stripped
This same screwdriver can unscrew the battery lid on other gamepads I own but not this one for some reason, these screws don't move an inch no matter what

Any special trick you know?

Are the screwdriver PH00?
Yes as I said the screwdriver it's correct and it works on the exact same screws on other gamepads. Guys don't treat me like I'm an idiot lmao I'm just looking for some trick to get some more traction on these stupid screws

Are they precision bit? You can try putting rubber band on top of the screwdriver to remove it, depending on the condition of the screw, some picture would help.

A picture would help as would telling people the exact tools your using and not "I'm using the right one I'm not an idiot". No one here assumes you are but there are many and without the relavant info, your gonna get asked these things. Your not an idiot and we're not the screws your pissed at! :wink:

@impeeza , you're my hero. I managed to do it with a pair of pliers, it was surprisingly easy. TY
Glad you could remove the screws, sometimes that rascals are stubborn and do not want to leave the plastic.

Also sometimes a longest screwdriver helps too.

    @SylverReZ I read that non-binary people identify as a blend of male and female. The point is i think i'm a blend of those and thus non binary

    @Xdqwerty, Non-binary people are those who don't identify themselves exclusively as male or female.
