How to get screw out of power supply?
. Unfortunately I got it stuck in there and am wondering if anyone has a solution to get it out.
Is this a good question?

Rotten luck! Looks like you have the wrong screw in the wrong hole and the metal retaining bracket is missing. That screw in that spot should be a torx screw. Disassemble the psu the rest of the way, careful and be mindful of possible residual voltage. Once the board is free from the shell carefully use some kind of pliars on the threaded end of the screw to turn, or wiggle whichever is needed, and gently push the screw back out. Good luck!

Worked on many Slims and looking at the picture, I can't make out what I'm looking at. The screw that goes where I think I'm looking at is long, security torx, and has a head larger than the shaft. Could you provide more context, like maybe an image showing a larger area?

Is the screw stripped, or is the screw loose, but just stuck?

@dushku don’t know how to put an image in it is in the bottom right corner. I think I may have used the wrong screw so it got stuck.

Can you reach it with a small flat blade screwdriver, like a jeweller's driver? Is there any way to turn the screw, either clockwise or counter clockwise?
