I'm sick of this shit

posted by PMYA on Whatever

I wanted to take apart my controller because one of the buttons is sticking a bit. There are 5 screws in the back, all of them torx.

Luckily I have been screwed over by Microsoft using torx in the past, so now I have two different sets of screwdrivers just in case I come across them again. I managed to take three screws out no problem, but the other two would not budge. The only correct sized screwdriver in two fucking packs has a missing thread at the end of the screwdriver and it was just enough to not be able to get the screws out. I filed that motherfucker down for an hour, got one screw out but the other remains.

WHY IS IT THAT WHENEVER I NEED TO TAKE ANY ELECTRONIC GADGETS APART, THESE FUCKERS USE THESE STUPID SCREWS

I can't, it is in a place where there's probably some important shit underneath it.
