Hello, I'm assembling my first PC and was about to secure some screws when I noticed one wouldn't tighten or loosen properly. It seems the screw might be old or damaged, and I could even remove it. What should I do? P.S.: The build quality isn't great—I had to force it. IMG_2158.MOV

It seems you might have misplaced the correct screw, and using pliers could help remove it carefully.

I'm beginning to consider using a pair of pliers.

If that you have that issue, or you can just push the screw through the standoff with gentle force, it's most likely the wrong screw being used.

It’s unclear how to move past this situation.

Tools broke, can’t hold the item, screws come out easily and I don’t want to damage any tiny parts inside.

Yes, I can share a photo. Which type of pliers are you employing?

I need a visual representation of something. What are you looking for?

The screw is either fully locked in place or able to rotate smoothly inside the standoff.

Watched the video recently. Place a firm, slender object beneath the screw and pull it out while rotating it.
