Ufiecle help needed by SoylentGreen 2007-11-29 08:24:05
I have an (old) Sony clie PDA (NX-80V) that has recently started giving me problems with the on-off slider switch, to the point that the PDA will no longer turn on - it is like the on/off/hold switch is stuck in the 'hold' position.

I expect that if I could get inside of the gadget and spray a little contact cleaner on the switch, I could get it to come on long enough for me to get everything I need off of it onto a new PDA.

Problem: the body of the PDA is secured with screws that are similar to Torx, but whereas torx screws have six points, these screws have only five points. I can't find the name of this sort of screw head, and I can't find a screwdriver that will unscrew this sort of screw head.

Does anyone know if this five-pointed screw head has a name, and where I might go about finding a screwdriver for it?
