WHAT SIZE TORX SCREW DOES PACEMAKER USE?

Post by fazz » Tue Oct 23, 2012 11:25 am

Hey guys,

I'll delete this topic as soon as someone answers. Either someone who has taken apart their PMD with a proper torxdriver or someone with a torxdriver set, can you please tell me what size/gauge it is? i need to buy a tool to take apart my own. Cheers.

I haven't got the answer, but if you get one don't delete the question as the answer may be useful for someone else.

Surely you can get a cheapo pack of multiple screwdrivers of different sizes on ebay, then try them all?
Sure I've seen someone else state it's the same size as used for iPhone.

its not a screwdriver, its a torxdriver I need. I've gotten my PMD open at the cost of stripping some of the thread and I want to be able to put it back together solidly. I wanted to order a cheap little torxdriver for a few dollars (free shipping) rather than a $15-20 dollar set of torxdrivers so that it would arrive close to the arrival of my SSD. Also I was only going to delete the thread because I was going to put the information for my SSD swap pictorial.

EDIT: Also, if anyone can measure the thread of the screws involved that would be awesome. I don't have tools small enough and at least 2 of my screws have fallen out somewhere along the line.

Seems to be a Torx T6 (on my Model 666, 60-GB Pacer), as judged by the fit from my "Ifixit" electronics repair kit.

I haven't actually unscrewed the screws yet so I can't help you on that front, but Ifixit may be a website you look at for screw replacement...

Awesome! Thanks, I'm still waiting on my kit to arrive so I can add in pix to the SSD swap tutorial but thanks for the help!
