(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hey, could someone link me a decent quality Phillips screw driver that will undo the small screws holding motherboard in place on a CECHH - K models?

I recently moved and don't own the correct size anymore and don't know what size it was, only screw driver i have of that size is of poor quality much like the screws and just threads.

I need to replace thermal compound on one of my fats which had the YLOD until i did the fan test a few times in a row to clean off my fan a little. Now it boots up normally, not likely it will continue to work but cleaning it out fully, and changing the obviously dry paste might help it survive a few more months maybe years, from what i can tell my console was failing to boot due to the massive dust build up in my fan. That and the psu in it is stuffed with dust proper. i'll be cleaning that if i have correct screw driver later.

I also wanna downgrade a fat that does not read so i'll need correct size Phillips or flatty to do so.

i forgot to update this, but i massaged Dro knowing he would be someone who could answer and he said that a psp screw driver would work so that is probably what i'll get. And thanks Sparrow that's what i was looking for, should be better quality then the nasty ones on ebay. Most the cheap ones break on tight screws damaging both the screw and the head, its a pain really. Never making that mistake again.
