Anyone know where to get the right bit to open the weird triangle screws in the original gameboys? Here is a pic of what I mean. Even a method to remove them without having to buy a special security bit would be great I just need at the guts ASAP to fix it for my kid. This is the first gameboy I have came across that did not just have normal star screws in it and I'm at a loss as to how to get into it without wrecking that damn thing.

I've managed to open those with a flathead screwdriver.
Warm up a plastic pen until it begins to melt and let it cool of while you push it against the screw. It is a bit tricky to do but not impossible

You can get one Here (http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=209&products_id=1850&)
It will also open a bunch of other Nintendo products.

Seconded, plus it's a forum member's store! Jeesh, I tried the Goat Store last night to see if I couldn't link to one there, didn't think the Electric Quarter had one! Should've keep looking :P
