Hello I have a problem and today I wanted to upgrade my notebook with a 2nd ram, so I bought a special tool for it yesterday, but no matter what I try the screw doesn't even want to turn a mm. The only plausible answer would be that the screws were taped shut. The notebook is an HP G7 1290eg

You used the wrong screwdriver.
I have used the first, 4 and 5 from the bottom left but none goes
Yes, I've already made the screws round because you have the wrong ones.
What should I do now?
Take the right one.
If possible please remove pictures. You can see your Windows key.
And which one should that be from the top
If they are fastened with screw lock, you need a lot of strength for this and should at best not loosen the screws
So press and turn firmly. With small, thin screwdrivers like yours it is a little more difficult, one with a thicker handle would be more suitable
Alternatively, warm up the screws with a soldering iron, blower, etc. To loosen the screw lock
Thank you
Only the screw can't be turned or the screwdriver can't.
In other words, does the screwdriver jump over the screw?
If the screwdriver jumps, you may need to use a different bit. Otherwise press the laptop properly with the screwdriver and then turn slowly with force. When unscrewing, nothing can be broken.
First find the right bit, then put it in the handle and turn it. Press firmly. The bit must not wobble, otherwise it is the wrong size.
Yes, the screwdriver jumps, so to speak, and that's not just with one but also with several bits
I also tried to push harder, but it comes out the same, the bits jump over the screw. Turning it just cracks
Try the biggest cross you have. You have probably already screwed the screw through. I work on laptops and such almost every day. The screws are just a little bit stuck. You usually don't need any strength. HP generally uses very little glue. Since you always get the devices open easily.
