Screws are so hard! How to remove them?

Hello, managed to open my samsung galaxy s2. I am now trying to remove the motherboard. That said some of the screws are very hard, can't remove them, not turning at all. Does anyone here know if there is some trick to remove them. Also what is the exact name of the screw driver I need to use so that I can go an buy it (at the moment I am using a generic one i have at home).
S2 ???? This is S3 forum
Try Ebay for screw kit

Sorry, thought was posting for the S2 forum. However really and truly this is not mobile specific. I do have a screw driver that fits but when I try to turn it jumps because some screws are attached to much. Is there a spray I can use to help release the grip?

Know what you mean...Tried to bite one, almost broke my tooth. A piece of advice from me - DO NOT try to bite them!

Don't use too much force. You may damage your phone.

My girlfriend Galaxy s2 is having a lot of problems

Hey Guys,
My girlfriend is having alot of problems with her phone lately.
It was turned off occusionaly during the day.
I've replaced the rom on her device and though it would fix it.
I bought the akku polarcell 1800mah for her because I had good experience
on the past with polarcell battery for my previous galaxy s1.
Guys I don't really know what to do and my girlfriend is counting on me to fix this ..
I told her to put some papar near the battery to have it better grip with the electricity circuit.
Maybe there is a Corrosion- how to fix this?
Guys,
Please let me know your input on this and how to solve this.
Looking forward for any input- thanks in advance.
All the best!
thanks you guys
Be nice and get her a new phone. Keep the S2 for your ownself. Problem solved!
You can't really fix corrosion, because it tends to spread slowly throughout the device over time. It depends on what's damaged, if you're lucky it might only be the USB board which is cheap to replace, if it's components on the motherboard then replacing that is more expensive, if it's through the whole phone it might even be a bin job because it's probably going to continue to get worse over time.
Only way to know for sure is to take it to someone qualified (I.E a mobile repair shop) & have them take a look.
Edit - Or...You could replace the USB board yourself & see how that goes. It's easy/quick/cheap (~US$10) to do yourself, search for KeithRoss39's guide in General (search for 'replacing USB charger board' or similar), and if you're lucky this solves the problem. If it doesn't, then you take it someone qualified for diagnosis (and in changing the USB board, as you're pulling the phone apart, you'll be able to see if/how much corrosion is there).
Thanks for the quick replies.
The issue is we don't want to invest money in this and would rather staying with the phone as it is if needed.
How can I make it better?
Any Idea?
Did you even read my post ?
You can't. It's obviously something hardware-wise going on. You can either take that advice & possibly fix the phone, or put up with it in its current state. There isn't anything 'easy' you can do.

What rom did you put on it?
Aosp or sammy-based?? The reboots can be software related

[Q] connect a S2 display to a S3 motherboard

Dear XDA members,
First of all, I want to apologize for my bad English...
I have an S3 with a broken screen. My phone gets on, make noises, but I have no picture.
My wife has an old S2, it is possible to connect my S3 motherboard to the display of the S2? The connectors look the same, but does it works?
I know that the resolutions of the S2 and S3 are different, but all I need to the is to make a backup. (USB port is also broken )
Thanks.

Pretty sure that would just fry the display of the s2, because it is different hardware than the s3.
Thanks for the reply...
The story continues to find a S3.

Sorry I can not help you the way I had in mind.
With your original problem I would of sent you an old s3 complete screen assembly I have to either use to copy data or use permanently.
I swapped it out because of a bad glass replacement done by a local shop but it still works and functions...most of the time. Sometimes the touch doesn't work for a few seconds but the Netherlands is to far away.
Sorry for raising hope

Thanks for your help and your offer.
I can borrow a S4 or Note3, is it possible to connect one of those to my S3??
Thanks guys.
I think this won't work pretty well. I know that it is the same type of display: Super AMOLED capacitive TOUCHSCREEN, 16M colors, but the site and resolution is different. And the next question is, if the connectors really fit in!

[Q] Odd, maybe stupid S3 question...

Hi all, this may seem like a silly thing to ask but here goes....
I've got an S3 I9300 with a smashed screen. I would like to salvage my data/pics etc before I bin it.
However I can't access it via my pc as it has a screen lock that I obviously can't see or remove.
I have a spare Galaxy Ace 2 that I'm using temporarily and my question is; will the Ace 2 lcd screen plug into my S3 board temporarily
so I can retrieve my stuff?! I know I should just try it but I'd rather ask first before I waste my time stripping both phones!
Thanks for reading!
No will not work.
Different connectors and drivers.
