My ring doorbell has lost connection for some reason and won’t come back online when i push the orange button. It appears to have no power. However, one of the tiny safety screws rusted and stripped so I can’t get the doorbell open to investigate the problem.
Has anyone had this problem particularly with the screw and know how I can get the doorbell open?
Hi @Hnpacker! The best way to remove a stripped screw is by using needle nose pliers. These pliers can grab the small part of the screw while you turn to loosen. If pliers are not available, or do not work, a rubber band placed around the screw can help with leverage and grip to loosen/remove.
