Screws broken off / General comment on inner Life of PB
#4
Note to anyone else reading this, never use a power driver for the screws on the Pinebook Pro. They are too small, both the phillips head and the diameter of the shaft. It may be annoying to remove or install that many screws but the risk is great for problems.

Use a jeweler screw driver. For installation, make sure the threads are lined up. I tend to insert the screw, then turn it back, (aka counter-clockwise), until I feel / hear the click. Then tighten no more than easy turns between 2 fingers on the jewelers screw driver.

To the original poster, @stefan.schumacher, you may need to buy a replacement keyboard and screw kit.
