There is a screw in a hole in my laptop. I fail to unscrew it with a screw driver. How can I unscrew it?
The end of the handle of the screwdriver is loose, and what is the looseness supposed to be used for?
Thanks.

Depending on your stair, lighting might be the responsibility of the council. If there's a sticker/notice that has a number for "concerns/ complaints", they'd be the right ones to call. If there's nothing posted, it might be a communal thing. Part of the reason I bring this up is that the replacement bulbs for that lamp seemed really expensive when bought in small quantities. (Or maybe that was just me being a cheapskate. From memory, it was just shy of a tenner.)
But a pair of small-ish needlenose pliers should allow you to unscrew them. If you're naughty, replace with a normal bolt.
If your ceiling is high, be careful on that ladder.
The picture may say it all, I think you will be hard pressed to find a replacement fan. There is not a whole lot to do with these type of fans.

The loose end is for your index finger to press the screwdriver against the screw and thus provide the second fixed point for its axis while the thumb and the middle finger are turning the screwdriver. It allows the most precise operation of all manual screwdrivers.
I would also speculate that this might not be the right tool for the work. This kind of screwdrivers are for precision work where you need to be very exact in where you touch your device and exert a very limited force. You need a regular screwdriver, which would allow to exert higher torque and at the same time press stronger along the screwdriver/screw axis to prevent them from losing each other.
For the screw you want to turn, you need one of the bits in your second photo, in the holder with the word "Poholy" on it, number 5...7 from the left in the photo (4...6 if you turn it upside up). Take the one that fits the screw best. You will also need a handle, which is missing in your photo. It looks something like the blue one in this photo.
You can use the electrical screwdriver from Worx that you showed in another post, but choose the correct bit and as low torque as possible to start with. With the electrical screwdriver, it's very easy to damage the screw cap.
