He might be able to drill it out but may need to start with a smaller bit. And remember he is most likely trying to drill out a stainless bolt, which will be hard as hell to do. May break a few bits in the process and if he slips and hits the board it will be toast if its not already.
Wow.
Tell him to quit using computers.
How old is this person? In their teens right? And they think they know a lot about computers, I take it? wow, again
I don't see what would be wrong with using 2 bolts?
3 is worse than 2 tho...
Tungsten carbide anyone?
Yes I agree not a great idea for the boards sake - but whats to say he hasn't already broken off several SMT components along with their solder tracks when he broke off the bolt?
Has it been tested since this happened?
I wouldn't help him, and I'd let him know exactly why too. I'd tell him: "I'm willing to help people that value my input, however I'm not going to help somebody who completely disregards my advice to the point of negligence."
Let him take it to a professional shop. One of the best teachers in life is known as: "Wasting a fuckload of cash through your own stupidity".
They were renting a house and their lease expired so they had to move. They had a $1600 security deposit. They had to pay the landlord money over and above the deposit since moronbrains placed his BBQ right next to the vinyl siding and melted a big area of it. I've seen boxes of hammers with higher IQs than this guy.
jesus christ, $1600 deposit, how much was their rent? And how did he afford with with a minimum wage job?
I work for a gal who's husband is certifiable. He takes everything apart because the government has cameras in everything. I'm talking smoke detectors to the big screen. Anyway after buying a 4th laptop she had me epoxy the screws so he couldn't take it apart...
Sounds like they need to start a club.
holy christ I thought the guy I removed the fake virus scanner from his laptop 2x in 1 week was bad! It was like" hey I got this facebook message from a girl who's profile pic had huge boobs, I clicked on it and nothing happened!"
Personally I say fuck em. People like this that break their shit and have no humility deserve it.
Now....if you want to fix it just pick up some easy outs.
Once they know you'll look at the problem, you will become the first contact for help, until you tell them, you broke, you fix it, they won't stop asking you.
