Torx screw driver for Wall Street
Hello, A friend of mine has a loose power supply plug on his Wall Street Power Book and asked me for a Torx driver that fits the screws for the case. Does anybody know the exact size for the driver and where a good place would be to buy the screwdriver from? I have a set of Torx drivers down to #10, but that still seems to large.

AFAIK every torx I've run into on a Powerbook is a Torx 8 Sears has them; mine is a Wiha 267-08 http://tinyurl.com/68fjs I got from an electronics shop for $4 a few years back. It's got a spinner cap that makes getting some of those long screws out easily. Don't go for the driver sets with interchangeable tips, the bit is not long enough to reach down into some holes on Powerbooks. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pha rmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Thanks, Christoph A Torx 9 will work (at least it did on my 3400C). Got my set at Walmart for 7 bucks, those kind that fold out from a centre storage like a pocket knife. 9 was the smallest but it worked fine, no chance of stripping the head. 10 will NOT work.

Re: Torx screw driver for Wall Street
Does anybody know the exact size for the driver and where a good place would be to buy the screwdriver from? All Mac PBs can be serviced using T6, T7, T8 and T9 drivers, although T6 and T8 are the most frequently found, with T8 by far the most frequent. (Some accessory manufacturers used T10 fasteners ... don't remember which or what). Every Sears store sells miniature Torx drivers. They're about $1.95 each, depending upon which part of the country you're in. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Yank arrogance, (was) RE: torx in u.k.
Actually, the Scots came to Ireland in the reign of Elizabeth I, some several-odd years before Cromwell. It was referred to as the Scottish Settlement of Ulster when Elizabeth gave land to Scottish settlers at the expense of the local inhabitants in order to take control of the rebellious province. Just for the record, of course.

Re: Torx
just buy a torx bit set for the screw drivers with the changable tips, it has like t-1 to t-10 (I ended up buying a torx6, 8 sized ones and they aren't so common anymore from what the hardware fellas tell me) -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
