What size screwdriver to i need?
So i opened up my iphone 4s using a pentalobe screwdriver, and now i'm trying to unscrew the battery connector. According to my step by step guide, the screw holding the battery connector in place is a 2.5 mm philips screw. I've tried maybe 5 different screw drivers and none of them seen to be doing anything. What size screwdriver do i need for this 2.5 mm philips screw
Please Help ME i have to be done with this before the end of the day!
You need a set of 'jewelers screwdrivers'. You might find them at a hardware store, or at an electronics store like Radio Shack. The nicer sets are separate screwdrivers, slot and phillips, various small sizes. The cheaper sets are one handle and a number of 'bits' for different kinds of screws. They work just as well but are a little less convenient if you do a lot of work with them.
Small phillips screws are tricky! You don't have as good a grip as on larger screws, so there's more of a tendency to 'cam out', which chews up the shape of the top of the screw and makes it harder to get out on the next try. You can get an 'easy out' for these small screws, but I wouldn't want to use one of these inside a cellphone because they make 'chips'. Plus, of course, it messes up the screw and you need to replace it.
So, bottom line, you want to make sure you have the right size bit to begin with, and then to be very careful not to chew up the screw.
- Where can I buy a Y000 screwdriver in Sydney? This is the tripoint screwdriver for the iphone 6 and above. I can't find it anywhere but online. Surely there's a screwdriver store that sells them.

- What is the difference between a Pentalobe screwdriver and a Phillips screwdriver? I'm asking this question with particular regards to replacing the front and back panels of an iPhone 4 or 4s. I understand that the Pentalobe screwdriver has been implemented by Apple with its products but I'm not sure whether a Phillips screwdriver is also needed. Particularly in regards to replacing a front LCD plate.
- What can you do with a UV sonic screwdriver? A month ago I bought a Sonic Screwdriver of the 9th and 10th Doctors. I have been trying to look up what cool things this sonic screwdriver can do. So far I can only do one thing, make an iPhone 3Gs screen brighter. It is kind of cool to do this but I want to do more stuff. I know that the screwdriver is a prop for fake uses but the power of a UV light amazes me! I would like to know if any of you people who bought the sonic screwdriver UV light know if it can do something impressive.
