I’m planning on getting some hinge fix parts printed for my PowerBook 170 and 540 soon, but my 170 has an issue. The right side screw standoff has broke, so I can’t unscrew the right side screw to get inside the display assembly, it just spins. Any ideas on how to get in non-destructively? All I can think of is opening and closing the hinge until the other standoffs all break so I can just lift the back off, but there’s got to be a better way. There isn’t enough room to get at the screw thread with pliers to hold it in place, as the stand-off direct to the left of that one still holds.
