How does this even work? I've got a screw head that's come loose from the rest of it. The head turns without resistance but the screw doesn't budge. THIS ISN'T PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE.
Today I learned that thermal paste or whatever it's called comes off easily. Hopefully a smudge won't torch anything.

Holy shit that's a lot of drivers to install. Are all of these necessary?
