Chris Wilson Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Was going to fit a bigger hard drive in my old laptop tonight, but the original drive has a little metal frame around to hold a connector adaptor. It's held with two tiny Phillips head screws and two even tinier screws that look like Torx heads. I have had a look on Ebay and there are some generic laptop tool kits, but does anyone know where I can buy something that's pretty much sure to fit these tiny Torx fasteners please, as I definitely have nothing like that around the place!? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straightsix Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Have you tried Maplin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purity14 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Can you not just use a very small precision flat head that perfectly fits against either side of the torx? ...or do they have the security dimple in the middle of them?

Chris Wilson Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 Thanks for the info. I have found RS Components, who I have an account with, list T4 upwards Torx screwdrivers in a small kit form. I have ordered one of those. Didn't know Torx fasteners went that small, they really are tiny! Appreciate the help, cheers everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
