    Possible Cause

    The baseplate uses anti-loose screws, tighter than ordinary ones.
    Note:
    When you take off the screws on the baseplate, make sure the size of the screwdriver is proper.
    If the screw is stripped, stop removing the screw.
     

    Solution

    1. Take off the screw with a 5-inch Phillips screwdriver.
