open a SNES

Stoner

Hi all,

I need to pop a SNES open to fix something in it, I dont have the correct tool to open the screws, has anyone any tips or suggestions of the handyest way to get the correct tool?

thank you

Get an old BIC biro, remove ink leaving just the clear plastic tube. Melt head of tube so the plastic is mouldable but not so melted that it goes drippy/thins out, place melty plastic onto the screw head and wait for it to cool down and harden - voila, instant screwdriver.

Failing that, get yourself a tri-wing screwdriver head from ebay or some other sites

No tri-wing on the Snes TV, it's a gamebit http://www.rewind-bits.co.uk/gamebit-4-5mm-236.html

Its either a 4.5mm or the 3.mm, I can't remember

Wow nice idea with the pen, did you ever send time in prison, you would be a great shank maker.

Thanks all

I will admit, I did google it. I didn't own a SNES :P
