For those of you that remember my spider-related computer troubles, here's another Tale of Misfortune.
I got my replacement screen today, printed out some instructions, and set to work dismantling my laptop. I was able to remove the back panel, hard drive, etc. (Samsung had the bright idea to build this thing in such a way that I have to gut it to remove the screen bezels), but when I got to the screw holding the CD-ROM drive in, I was stopped dead. When I tried to remove it, I stripped it, because apparently Samsung buys screws made of tissue paper and whispers. I tried the rubber band trick, that didn't work. I can't use pliers because it's still down in a hole, not on a flat surface.
I hate everything.
