Installing Hard Drive

The little screw that is right next to the card reader won't come out. It turns but it never comes out. I can't install my hard drive because of this. Please help me.

Havent had experience with an MPC, but generally when I am working on a computer and this happens it means the screw is unscrewed but the threads are getting caught on the hole it is in. Try grabbing it on either side of the head with your fingernails and pulling straight out or carefully turn it so that the screw is facing the ground and give it a careful shake to dislodge it. Just make sure when it falls it wont get away from you.

unfortunately it can also mean it has been screwed in too far, and the final thread has become stripped, making it difficult to start the screw on its outward journey. try putting some pressure between the front panel the the screw is holding on and the mpc. insert a fingernail/small screwdriver if you can, and give it some (light) pressure, and you should get the screw started again.

good luck.
