From my shop: Overtightening laptop screws is a hidden disaster
Most techs crank them down to avoid loosening, but that stress cracks plastic frames over time. I just do a quarter-turn past finger tight and never have callbacks.

Learned to stop over-tightening after I cracked a hinge on my own laptop. Used to give it that extra "just in case" turn, which was always a mistake. Now I stop as soon as the screw seats properly. No more broken plastic parts, and everything stays together fine. It's all about feeling the resistance, not fighting it.
