Heya all. Today boss asked me to find a tri wing screwdriver that will be capable of opening the Seagate 8gb ST1.2 drive. That screw is no more then 0.7-0.8 size and i cant find a place to buy a driver that small. Anyone ever opened one of these ? Help would be apretiated =)

Use a sharp art knife/scalpel. Watch your fingers!!

Yep, I couldn't a tri-wing small enough either.

First time I opened one, it took me about an hour to open it with the point of a scalpel blade (or more than one to be precise, they kept breaking).

I didnt bother screwing it back together after I'd freed the stiction, just sellotaped it back together. Hey, it worked!
