I can't seem to find the right screw driver.

My jewellers set of screw drivers fit, but it's not a snug fit, and I'm not sure if the blue screw is tighter than it should be, because I can't

open it without exerting too much force, I don't want to strip the screw.

Can someone tell me exactly what type of screwdriver I should use?

Mate, I didnt use jewelers screwdrivers like a lot of people seemed to use. I used a smaller phillips head i have in my stanley screwdriver set (availalefrom any bunnings). I managed notto strip any screws - i just pushed down nice and firmly while turning and they came loose. Some people didnt even bother with a screwdriver and went straight to the pliers, but i had no troublewith the screwdriver.

Stanely is the same screwdriver I used. I like their quality.

Good grip, strong head, precision tool.

I would like to know.. I have a 120GB SATAII SSD (Solid State) Notebook Hard Drive.... Would it work?? with the PS3? i mean if it did, the access times would far be greater than the conventional 5400rpm or the 7200rpm ones... also with SSD there is no heat.. well i would say No but very little..

there was a mention about this a few pages back and i did read an article (can't remember if there was also a link a few pages ago) and it should be fine, if your going to do it then post your results here in regards to load times, heat (if it's in a cabnet) and leave it running for a while to see if SUPA MEGA BIG ULTRA SPIN FAN GO GO GO speed happens with the internal fan.

The PS3 only supports SATA drives, not SATA II.

[PAPO1990]

SATA II is backwards compatible

I'm pretty sure the 60GB Seagate HDD that came out of my PS3 (that I'm not using as a pocket media drive) is SATA-II.

Will that HD work and fit in a PS3?

And I assume the PSN stuff we've bought can just be freely re-downloaded again?

Cheers
