I bought a region chip off BlueBMW a few weeks ago.  I went to install it tonight, but the security bit I tried to use is too small.  The one I have was purchased for opening NES cartridges, but doesn't work with the TG-16. :(

I don't really want to buy another bit off eBay.  I could, but I'd rather not because it'll take forever to be shipped to me.  Does anyone have any tricks for removing these screws?  Homebrew tools?

you also can open it with an appropriate minus driver.

lol, sorry was on my mobile when I wrote that. The appropriate term for that tool should have been simply "slot screwdriver" :)

A slot screwdriver won't work.  It's a security bit.  I'd have to Dremel out the middle for it to even fit.  Maybe I'm not understanding.  :-k

Just get a 4.5mm security bit. Only like $5 on ebay

There are some cheaper bits out there but from the ones I have used this one is much better quality and last a lot longer.
