I have decided to try out wrapping some thin steel wire around the standoff making a ''hook'' so the person can switch out the ssd in the future. I will super glue the wire to the standoff to make sure it dosent move anywhere, i have found a glue that can handle heat up to 120c so hopefully...

I could be wrong here but i dont think you can screw the retainer off on this laptop, im somewhat hesitant to try in case it actually cant be screwed off and i just end up ripping it off. Anyway i think i did find a decent solution for the problem, i wrapped some thin steel wire around the...

Thanks for the link, that would be the prefered way but im afraid the force potentially would rip the standoff loose and in worst case senario destroying the motherboard, but i might just try it out on a broken mobo i have laying around and see how it feels.

Thanks for the suggestion, i have been looking around and did find some epoxy specifically for electric stuff so i might just give that a try

I will give it a look, thanks for the suggestion

Do you think that will hold up with the heat and all over long term?

Ifixit seems like they might have something that potentially could do the job but they are out of stock of course. Besides them i havent been able to find anything in the size i need (atleast not sold in europe), but i suppose i just will have to keep my eyes open, thank you for the sugestion...

Thank you for the answer, do you think a screw extractor would work in this case considering there is no screw head left? The bottom part is only 1 mm in diameter so its quiet small.. Drilling through the screw itself i will leave as a last solution incase i cant find anything else to do.

Well i tried to keep the post short and leave out unnecessary stuff. But since you opened it up.. Im fixing it for a family memeber of mine who wanted to change their SSD out only to realise that whoever had repaired the laptop last time had screwed the threads on the head off. My father then...

I tried pulling the motherboard out of the laptop but it dosent look like you can unscrew the standoff, i did upload two photos up above one of which is of the backside. Its my first time messing around with M2 screw standoffs on a laptop so i could of course be wrong.

I did try that out a few times, unfortunately i havent had any luck doing so yet.

I'm supposed to try and help a friend replace their M.2 SSD, problem is the screw holding the SSD down has had its head cut off, leaving the bottom of the screw in the holder... Since I'm not quite sure on how to attach images I uploaded picture both from the front and back to Imgur. View...

Thanks for the update, it might not be a lot but its still very much appreciated!

Sorry for being a bit late here... Thanks the detailed resume! It sounds to be doing good in gaming applications. Guess i'll just have to wait for black friday so i can pull the trigger on the RX 5700 XT. Do let me know if you find any abnormalities in the meantime. Also, any other...

Thanks for the update. When you got time for it, i would like to hear if you notice any problems when playing in vr games with it. In particularly bad frame drops, or if its just smooth. Enjoy the concert!
