During computer assembly or later upgrade, hard-disk screws are a difficult situation for many diy players. In particular, fixed screws of the m. 2 solid hard drive or the 2. 5-inch hard drive tend to be small and delicate, and can easily be unwieldy and unbreakable once the operation is inappropriate or the tools do not match. In the face of this situation, it is forbidden to use force to wrinkle, otherwise it may cause damage to hard drives, gold fingers or even to the screws on the main plate. Here is a set of practical guidelines, from judgement to treatment, to help you cope。
Step one: calmly judge the exact state of the silk
Prior to processing, a precise distinction should be made between screws and screws (floor) damage. When power is shut down and the case is removed, the fixed point next to the m. 2 slot is carefully observed using a mobile phone microrange mode or magnifying glass. If the crucifix or one of the slots on the head of the screws is smoothed and brightened, the screwdriver slips, which is a typical screwdriver. In another case, the screwhead may be intact, but the spin-in hard drive is still shaking, or you find that the screws on the back of the main plate have fallen off or broken, which is the damage to the base structure. Clear judgement is a prerequisite for subsequent selection of the right option, and it is important not to try to twist it repeatedly in the absence of confirmation in order to avoid any expansion of the slide situation。
Step two: emergency repositioning techniques for light silk
If there is a partial contour of a screwdriver, you can try adhesive adhesive. Cuts a small piece of rubber mat about 1 mm thick (e. G. Mouse mat edges) or rubber bands, covering it on the screw head of the slide, then presses the screwdriver vertically into the rubber and rotates slowly against the clockwise. The elasticity of rubber fills a worn gap and provides additional friction to help the screwdriver re-coup the slot. The operation must be carried out in absolute vertical shapes, with sharp tilts accelerating the wear of the trough. Another option is to use the 502 transient sticker method: drop a very small amount of glue in the centre of the screwdriver, immediately insert a screwdriver and keep it vertically static for about 60 seconds, and try to rip it out once the glue is initially sequestered. It is important, however, to control the amount of glue and prevent the spill from leaking into the m. 2 slots and causing more complex exposure problems。
Step three: no-lost exit process for serious slips
When screwheads are fully rounded or threaded, more secure physical means are required. First, fix the main plate and remove the surrounding radiator and memory strips, so as to prevent the operation of the main plate shake from leading to the distortion of the sink. If the edge of the screw is partially condensed, an attempt can be made to use a sharp-mouth plier, which is fully tied to the circle of the screw, with reverse support provided by the left hand, and a slow application of the reverse clockwise to the right hand. If the plier slips, it is possible to try the ab-strength bonding method by mixing the ab-gel equivalent onto the top of the screws, immediately inserting an abandoned cross screwdriver (with the sharp edge of the blade to increase the strength of the force), and remaining silent for two hours, once the glue is fully sequestered, then evenly spins out. This method, which is strong and warm, is an effective means of dealing with the stubborn silk screws。
Step 4: identification and replacement of damage to the base seat
If damage to a screw or plastic card is confirmed, replacement parts are required. Most main plate m. 2 uses two fixed designs: metal + sediment screws and plastic fast-dismantling card buttons. For metal screws, replacement of m2 x 3 mm screws of the same specification is sufficient; if a plastic card button is broken, the corresponding type of card button package will need to be purchased for replacement. When installed, use a magnet-sniffed screwdriver to point the screw vertically to the hole and to twist to a clear increase in hand resistance to stop without excessive locking. Upon completion of all operations, access to the bios will confirm that the hard drive is correctly identified and that the system is stable, and the processing will be declared complete。
Prevention is better than cure: the right tools and techniques
The key to avoiding hard-disk screws is to use a matching precision tool. When assembled or maintained, it is recommended to select a ph00 or ph0 fine screw knife with a magnetic suction function, the size of which should be fully consistent with the length of the screwdriver. When screws are tightened, pressure should be exerted down vertically, slowly rotated, tilted or overstretched. For m. 2 solid hard drives, the standard twist of the fixed screw is usually around 0. 6n. M and can be stopped when there is a perceived resistance. The formation of a standard operating habits can avoid the problems caused by silk。
