Removing Cross-Threaded Screws from Hardware?

Posted by Cliff on Monday May 19, 2003 @06:30AM from the tricky-situations dept.

TeaDaemon asks: "I currently have an expensive (dual CPU) motherboard mounted in a rack case. One of the mounting screws is cross-threaded, preventing me from removing the board. The case is designed to prevent access to the back of the risers, so that's not an option. Does anyone have experience with this sort of problem? Can anyone suggest a reliable way of removing said screw without damaging the board or any of it's components? The screw is next to the PCI slots, and has a couple of capacitors and ICs near by. Any help would be greatly appreciated."

Dear slashdot,

Dear sucking,

Giving oral sex helps you keep trim or lose excessive pounds, it can also help you maintain a perfect complexion. Your husband knows this and is only looking out for YOUR interestes, this is obviously a sign of his undying love and devotion. As a way of thanking him for his consideration you should invite a friend over and give him lots of oral sex together licking eachother's lips. You should also make him a nice meal.
