A friend of mine has a loose power supply plug on his Wall Street Power Book

to buy the screwdriver from? I have a set of Torx drivers down

Every Sears store sells miniature Torx drivers.
They're about $1.95 each, depending upon which part of the country you're
in.

Yes, many times, the long driver (T-15 if I recall correctly) is still
stocked by some tool suppliers, and I have even seen it referred to as a
'Mac cracker' in a recent catalogue!!
Fry's sells it as a Mac Cracker. Typically, none of their staff knows that
they do, in fact, carry it.

Could the cases of these machines differ? On my 5300 these screws are only
inset about an eighth of an inch, and a little exchangeable-bit ratchet

Only the south ;-)
The north cannot decide if it wants to be part of the UK or not (blame
Cromwell and the later Scottish land clearances)
