U
I can't unscrew my ring doorbell.

The screw just keeps turning, but it isn't coming out. I can't grab it with a needle nose plier because it isn't sticking out far enough. There is nothing to grab. I tried a flathead screwdriver and a knife to get under the screw head, but nothing is working and my doorbell needs to be charged. Any suggestions?

    Hi @user_ff7718. It sounds like your screw is stripped. Try putting a rubber band over the screw head and then turning. If that doesn't work, a small dab of hot glue may help you get enough grip to twist it out. Let me know if this helps.

      The screw is turning, it's just not coming out. I've tried to pull it out with pliers, but there's not enough to grab. I'm at a loss about how to get it out so I can charge it.
