Title:

Bottom Pentalobe Screws Stuck

Text:

Hey guys, I have an iPhone Xs Max that’s having an issue with the bottom screws. They aren’t stripped but the problem is they don’t turn AT ALL. Because I had to open the phone because the old screen was completely dead I just broke the old screen off. The problem is even when I tried pushing them out from the inside it didn’t do anything. I’ve been using it for a while with the screen unscrewed but I want to have it secured in at some point. I’ve tried glue on the screwdriver, etc… they aren’t stripped so that isn’t the problem, they’re just really, really stuck. Any information, ideas or solutions would be appreciated. Thanks!
