Dissassembling PS3 80 GB

[mothmanex]

I have dissambled various PS3 (60 GB), I usually use a T10 to unscrew the first screw, but with this specific model, I'm having a problem. Does anybody knows which screwdriver could work?

I leave here some pics

It looks like a security torx, is the center part raised up?

Follow this guide, you should be able to use a flat head screwdriver or the T10 to remove it.

If you can get a screwdriver small enough, you can snap that little pin in the middle and use a regular torx. If it catches right, you can use just a flat head screwdriver.

FWIW I bought a security torx set instead of standard, since they work with both.

Those torx screws can be a b*tch sometimes. Either use a small philips or small flat head and just catch one side of the screw (small phillips seems to work best for me), or you can also just push down real hard and it will usually catch. I keep telling my boss we need to get a security torx set so I can quit having such a hard time opening those. But T10 is definitely the correct size

Thanks for the replies, this is the only one that has given me problems, I will keep trying. If not I will go and buy a T10-H. The worst thing is that I have a set of security torx, but they are not long enough.
