Screwdrive to open MBP

neo2210 · 30 Jan 2011 at 04:29

I hear I need a PH #00 to open a macbook pro to replace the HD.

I'm not sure if that's an american measurement or term, but what would I ask/look for at B&Q?

PH is just short for Philips (Cross Head). So you just want to know if they have any small philips screwdrivers. However if you are changing the hard drive you will also need a torx screwdriver.

I'm not sure if B&Q stock these sort of things. I bought a little set from ****** that was cheap and had everything you would need. This would have everything you would need

Edit: Damn, looks like they can't be mentioned as they are a competitor. Either way they are not american terms, just make sure the set you get has has a PH00 and a T06.

You will also need a Torx 6!

All the screws to access the inside of the laptop and get the hard drive out are Philips head. The hard drive has 4 mounting posts screwed into it which require a Torx T6 to remove.

Take the unit in to a shop and if they're nice they'll help you figure out what you need.
