Re: for PB what screwdriver?
Well, I don't know what model your talking about, but I have a PowerBook 170, Duo 230 and a 520c and all of them use what's called a torx 8 (my PowerBook 1400c uses a precision Philips screwdriver, go figure). They can be at times hard to find but they can be found at most hardware stores if in stock. Just be sure to get one with at least 2 inches of neck to get in all the deep holes.

All my PowerBooks take a Torx-8 (you can get them at Sears for about $3) screw driver (that's a Duo 230, 5300cs/ce, and Wallstreet). Apple seems to love these things. From time to time, I've run into Torx-6 sized screws in Apple products as well. Of course, my Wallstreet uses a Phillips-head for user serviceable parts. Your 1400c probably uses the Phillips because it's not an Apple-original design. The case was original designed by Taiwanese manufacturer Quanta and retooled by Apple to include the mac specific ports (SCSI, serial, ADB, etc) and the BookCover. Also, Apple's target audience for this machine was younger. As an entry-level product, we wanted Epic's design to attracted a more youthful audience says Lawrence Lam, a designer on the Epic's IDg team. (AppleDesign page 264). Peace, Drew P.S. - I _HIGHLY_ recommend the AppleDesign book by Paul Kunkel to anyone who enjoys Apple's industrial design and their history. The book is fascinating! If you only get it to look at the pretty pictures of prototypes, it is worthwhile. I used to leave it on my coffee table while in college, and the oohs and aahs of people thumbing through it were classic! -- Author of ClassicStumbler email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] web: http://homepage.mac.com/alk/ Want to know if your neighbor has Wi-Fi?

Re: for PB what screwdriver?
Maybe you have an odd PowerBook 500 series but I just tore mine down to it's guts to replace a few parts and it used a Torx-8. Just wanted to clarify that so people didn't get confused.
