worn screw head

chrisbrit81 · 2009-02-03

I bought a shiny new gig of RAM for my AAO, I followed the guide on here on how to install it, and everything went great, right until I came to the last black screw holding the motherboard into the case. In the process of attempting to unscrew it I have inadvertantly worn away the X on top of the screw and now can't get any screwdriver to unscrew it. I've put it all back together and it still works fine, even with the measley 512MB RAM. Am I "screwed" or is there a way to undo this final screw and upgrade my memory? cheers
