Screwdriver!

Possibly the most noobiest question on this very forum...

I've got the 1st MacBook unibody that came out in November 2008. I've bought a screwdriver from ******s, and it was too big , and I've borrowed a set from my mate - too big!

My manuals are at home in Leicester - my google Fu is weak. What size screwdriver do I need to change the hard drive??

I had to buy a set specially, I think it's a torx 6.

/edit - Yes, google confirms this. I googled 'macbook torx 6'.

Can you get these from map lins?

Stars the name out for some reason?

Yup, as part of a set. N55FX is the part number you're looking for.

Beer not coming your way...

The screw on top of the hard drive (the bracket that holds it in place) has now been sheared. I cant ******* believe this - all I want is to put my new hard drive in, and now the screw is nackered what am I going to do??

Major unhappy moment right now - such a flimsy screw, hardly any presure was put on it...

you own a Mac. you are not permitted to upgrade them on pain of death from the high Lord-Marshall Jobs.

if you wanted to upgrade you should have bought a PC.
