Triangle Screws need me a triangle driver

Postby Steerforth » July 1st, 2007, 6:19 pm

I want to take apart some GC controllers, anyone know where I can get some Nintendo comptible scrwdrivers, website or whatever? In the past I have ground down a flat blade screwdriver and that works for a while, but now it is bent and I am tired of pissing around. Any info is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I'm pretty sure mcminone.com has different bitsets for Nintendo stuff.  But their site search engine is iffy, so I'll leave it to you.    You might also check with Petra.

Thank you PC, at least I have a place to start looking.

One other thing, if you will - do  they have a special name, or are they just known as "triangle" screws?

I think I know what you mean by triangle screws.  The GBA has those, too, and I've wanted to see if opening it up could help me fix its D-Pad (it hasn't worked since I jumped into the Chesapeake Bay with it in my pocket; long story).

I know that www.cliffracer.com has a screwdriver made for those screws.  It's advertised for the GBA, but if the GC has the same screws (and by the sound of it, it seems like it does), than perhaps that'll help you out.

There is an auction up on Ebay for a Tri-Wing screwdriver for the GBA. I imagine it's the same thing, and it has another day left on it.

Thanks everyone. I did end up getting the EBAY one, paid less than I would have guessed! I owe you one, a.
