Please tell me that I am wrong
Please Login to Remove!
So, I bought a Blackberry 7280 w/ broken LCD off eBay to use the housing (basically perfect) on my 7230 that's all scratched up. Anyway, I got the 7280 open no problem. My beloved 7230, a different story. I can't get three of the black screws out. They aren't stripped, but the screwdriver just won't grip (it's a T6).
They all look like they have the spikes inside the screws.
Any idea what I can do?

Your wrong
You told me to tell you.....
Actually, those types of screws take a special type of tool to undo them....you may want to hunt it down, or take it to a repair facility and have them do it.

Ahh, great!!
Couple of questions then:
What kind of screwdriver do I need?
How come I could remove ALL of them on this new BB, but only like 2 on my current one?
Thanks for reassuring me!

YOU ARE WRONG!
hey... you asked for it... go to your local hardware store and look for a hollowed out T6... they are usually all mix and match type things... the center pin is just another deterrent for people so they don't take their gadgets apart... you should be able to find one pretty easy. If you know anyone who has/does work on compaq laptops, I guarantee they will have the right one.

Ah, great thanks. The more I'm told I'm wrong, mayble I'll start to listen.
One question remains - why in the would would I be able to open some, and not others. |

I went to a Bell Mobility store, and asked for a tool for my Blackberry, they asked me what model, so I told them a 7290. They handed me a hammer.

Haha. I don't know about Bell Mobility, but the people at my local Bell World store are so rude!

I bought a set of security bit torx screwdrivers for $8.99 at Fry's Electronics. They are just a regular torx driver with a hole in the middle. I didn't have any special need for the security torx drivers but they were cheaper than a regular set of torx drivers for some reason.
