Screws

andersonpaac · Jul 16, 2014

I was opening the shell and only two of the Philips size 1 screws of the 4( 1 for each arm) (next to the motor) opened up. The others don't seem to un-screw. I think I might have scratched the head. All options to remove the screw involve drrilling which I obviously don't want to do. Any tips or hints as to how I can deal with this?

Thanks

Put an elastic band on top of the screw and try again. Press hard into the screwdriver. Worth a go.

That sounds like it might work. I found that I had to press down hard on those screws to start them turning out without stripping the screw heads.

Dremel was my friend with one of these. By the way, where can I find replacement screws for these little guys? Checked around at a few hobby shops and nobody seems to have any. Are they included in DJI's screw replacement pack?

I think the really tiny ones aren't included in the replacement pack. I believe it's size 0 Philips screw. As long as you get that you're fine

Do you have any suggestions on how to drill it out? Is it safe. [emoji26]
