Fixing long screw damage on plastic

[myth77]

No matter how hard i try sometimes when i put laptop back together i mix some screws... as a result i get long screw damage on plastic on the other side of laptop, almost every time near the keyboard of the laptop....It looks like bubble and its very annoying to see.
Is there any way to flatt back that plastic bubble? i was thinking maybe with heatgun on low and with little preasure...but i am afraid i will do even more damage..
Any expirience here?

Buy yourself a large magnetic mat and layout the screws in the same pattern as where the screws came out from

Using low heat/hot air temp and applying a slight pressure with a flat surfaced tool will work. Just ensure where the heat is applied wouldn't cause any additional damage to components etc. This works for me all the time.

There is a high probability of having more damage by applying heat to the plastic. It would be useful if I see a photo of it.

Agreed with the others just learn the screw sizes and length. And learn where they go when you take them out. And in mind when you put them back imagine the inside of the case and then think to yourself would screw x make sense here or there I mean just taking the length of the screw and where you are putting it if its too long it would be fairly obvious.... This you learn by taking many many many laptops apart. I don't even bother anymore with the screws... I'm a pile of screws guy... Don't get me wrong I have made those mistakes in the beginning but never again. You should take an old case and learn to feel the torque when you start going into the plastic and don't use big screw drivers for tightening because you have way to much torque.

It comes with time... but also use your head/mind and simply remember. Don't just do without care!
