I think its a torx bit but the smallest I know of is a number 10 and thats is a bit to big. Is it a totally different bit? My Toshiba is having common overheating problems and I want to take it apart so I can get all the dust out of it so it can work properly. Thanks

Far safer to put a strong vacuum cleeaner on the exhaust purt
and tap the case gently with your knuckles.
There are mini torx screwdrivers at the electronics parts stores.
Any place that has computer repair supplies will have some.

Not bad! Those can go for 5 bucks each at the Pro stores.

Absolutely. I am a firm believer in having proper tools to achieve one's task. Wrong tools or no tools usually end up costing you a lot more.:icon_thum
