Tiny Screws

Get your mind up from the gutter. We're talking gadgets.

We've all found tiny screws in the gadget bag and if we can even identify the source, how to replace them without tiny screwdrivers. Who travels with those anyway?

My GPS shed a tiny philips screw and the speaker developed a buzz. I searched everywhere for a suitable screwdriver but failed.

Eureka, I prevailed with a toothpick and a nail clipper! Clip the toothpick until the end fits into the cross slot and you're able to get some purchase. You should be able to drive the tiny screw. If you can scare up some glue even better. I have crazy glue in my freedom baggie but I used a smidge of Elmers.

Hope this helps someone.

Jim
