Chaos: Well, it looks my my GBA is broken (more or less). The R button is unresponsive unless i squeeze is insanely hard. I would try opening the thing up, but damn Nintendo and their oddly shaped screws.

| RadioShack might have a screwdriver bit that fits into them. What shape are they? (Haven't gotten a GBA yet)

Chaos: They're like these little triangle ones. Its kinda hard to explain. you'd have to see it. But I think the only way to get those screwdrivers is to special order them.

| The NES has triangle screws, too, I think. That always pissed me off, because my NESes always died(well, not really died; the connectors died) after a few years, and I could never open the damn things.
Yeah, I've never seen a triangle screwdriver. -_- I have like all these weird hex bits and stuff, but never found a triangle one.

| Yeah, you'll need one of those "Y" type screwdrivers. They aren't sold to the public at all to my knowledge, but you could probably score one on E-bay or something.

Also, a very small flathead screwdriver will work, but there are chances you'll break a screw or won't be able to screw them all back in, which is a definite con...

Weird. I opened up my NES and installed a new "improved" connector for cartridges (that supposedly stops the games from blinking. It worked beautifully for about a week).
If there was a screw I couldn't get open with normal screwdrivers, I probably would have remembered.
