You could just tighten the middle rear screw on the bottom cover and that should resolve it, if it's not we can have the unit brought in to get it resolved for you.

Hmm, I have had this laptop for over a year and we still haven't had this problem. Can you tighten them at all?

I would try the Fisher-Price web sight. I know they make replacement wheels, batteries etc.

Carl, My son borrowed my small wrenches(Torx included), but I believe from looking at my 3650 Volt II that it's a sixe 7 or 8 torx. If you don't have those little wrenches, Ebay has them listed in a 45 in 1 set of little wrenches from Focusepart(seller#27174) (part#121255443201) for $8.99 and free shipping. Good luck. John Amazon may sell them too, but Ebay has them for sure.

Hi - One of our screws fell out in the ocean on our first trip into the water. Does anyone know where to get a replacement screw for this board?

2 tips for slotted screws, 4 phillips, 4 torx, and 2 square drive. I have a photo but not seeing where I can download it for you.

The only thing I would do is see if the manufacturer sells replacements. If not then check hardware and hobby lobby type stores. Sorry I don't have a direct answer but hope it helps.

Sorry for delay in answer, you may be able to get one through amazon, if not any Hobie shop would carry a charger that will change battery, tower hobbies is a good site to go to for hobby stuff

For other screws I'd recommend a reverse screw, though these are so small.. perhaps that could end disastrously.Alternative methods are going to be a challenge because the screws are set so deeply. Have you tried stretching a thin rubber band or disposable glove material over the provided screwdriver tip for added grip?I'm curious as to how you stripped the stock screws! I've replaced my screen twice and disassembled my phone dozens of other times to manually charge my battery (while waiting for a replacement USB charging port), yet the involved screws are in near-perfect condition.

Yes, I took it apart and found a new battery online. The tricky part was getting the rubber bumpers off so I could get all the screws out. BTW, the B&D; people told me it couldn't be done.

Hi! I do know that the screws are Phillips type approx. 1/4" long. For exact details, you can contact Sceptre at: !-800-788-2878. They are very helpful! I STRONGLY suggest you use a power screwdriver...the fit is tight.

I just bought one today at walmart and I stripped it too, and I was using the correct size screwdriver. Now I am not sure how I am going to get the battery compartment off without breaking it. I would never buy this again. I am wondering why they used a screw in the first place.

I don't know, probably on Amazon.com? But I wouldn't give up on the battery just 'cuz they say you didn't charge it often enough. My light crapped out, but the battery is fine.

I had the same issue and had to go out and buy a cheap set of torx to get it out. Not easy to get the screws out without stripping them either.

I am having the same problem! I have adjusted the screw and still no luck. I am at the point of getting rid of it and buying a new one. Very disappointing, especially considering how expensive they are. Wish I could be more help
