From: gypsy3001 on 16 Jan 2006 02:00 I'm looking for a 5-point star shaped screwdriver. I bought a Seagate 80GB external hard drive. Its case uses these special screws. I shot a picture of a screw here: http://www.gearhack.com/Forums/Tool/Screwdriver_for_5-Point_Star_Screw.files.hidden/5-point%20star.jpg Does anyone know where I can find a screwdriver for these screws? Thanks. Chieh -- Hacking Digital Cameras - http://www.camerahacker.com/books/Hacking_Digital_Cameras/

At any decent hardware or home supply store. It's called a Torx screw. Typically an allen wrench will work just fine in the absence of a Torx screw driver. hvacrmedic
