sounds like the screw from his description.
Is it the screw with the hex bolt top as well as the phillips?
And do you have the brass screw in fittings beneath the board?
if so a small set of vice grips will help pull it as you un screw.
Also as carefully as you can apply some up pressure by pulling the mother board. They are durable, but will snap so dont go all bull in a china shop...
sounds like we have all been down this road
