How to remove security Torx screws without the proper tools

Hello!
Here I am just showing a method I used a few times to remove security Torx screws when I did not have the proper screws. Someone sort of internet famous ruined a possible prototype machine by being impatient and cutting into it with a dremel. Let’s take an extra minute when working on things like this and improvise tools, while being nondestructive.

How did you remove the screws that are in the back of the ps4? Because I was able to remove the ones near the hard drive but the 3 screws in the back I can't remove them

THANK. YOU. SO. MUCH. (2nd owner of a PS4 that's never been cleaned. Had to take it apart for a NECESSARY cleaning that proved to be a lovely adventure for my OCD lol. This pen trick did the the job for 3 (Very) specific screws that I didn't have the tool for! This method works when your in a pinch!)

@alias136 3 года назад

Hi, did you open your ps4 with the pen?

@JustD1zz 3 года назад

@@alias136 Yup! Hahahaha. I recommend that you get a knife to hollow out the necessary width of the screw in the pens body. It takes a moment but you will Literally be doing what he's doing in the end lol. Just remember to press down firmly while unscrewing!

Also a flathead screwdriver could work aswell if you have a mighty grip strength to keep pushing into the screw while turning

I want to unscrew my ps4 screws to clean my fan will this work?

@something_about_tools 3 года назад

someone else here said they tried it and it worked. I don’t have a ps4 but if they are these kind of screws should be fine. i have used this to open gameboy and sega genesis cartridges before as well.

@leonbishop7404 3 года назад

is there a chance that this method works if the screw is in deep hole with plastic sides?

@something_about_tools 3 года назад

it's worth a shot! you may need a thinner piece of plastic to melt, you can even try a little bit of oil in the hole so that the melted plastic doesn't cool and stick to the other plastic

@leonbishop7404 3 года назад

*Pretty cool trick! Nobody has a video on how to take the teeny tiny ones off pocket knives. Can’t remove the belt clip without taking off those torque screws.*

@something_about_tools 3 года назад

You might get away with using a very small flat screwdriver, in the torx screw. I have had to use that method as well.

@dear.julian9374 3 года назад

Does it have to be that specific pen

@something_about_tools 3 года назад

not necessarily, just needs to be a stiff plastic, cant be a pen that bends, needs to be the kind of plastic that will snap if you try to bend it. i have used glitter pens and things, just needs to be thin

A couple years ago, I opened up a microwave by using the ends of 2 paperclips and a pair of pliers... Slowly but surely. Today, my laptop had a size t5 torx screw, and I didn't have any paperclips small enough for the microscope-sized screw. If I had a crystal pen I might have tried your method. Ended up ordering a small electronics screwdriver kit... Will need to fix other small electronics lol.
