tool to open F20 case

Dave Martin · Feb 16, 2008

The F20 (and I suspect F30/31/.... etc) has two security screws with a "Y" shaped head. They may be Tri-Wing #0000 size.

I want to remove the hot mirror but I have been unable to find a source for the driver needed to open the case.

I have tried a #000 Tri-Wing but it is too big.

Do you know where I can buy the appropriate tool?

Or, try ebay. I got a set of drivers for mobile phones from there last year and that has the right sized driver. I can't fine any on at the moment though, all the tri-wing drivers on the UK eBay site are for games consoles and I think you'll find that too big.

Do you know if the proper tool on the micro-tool site is size #0 or size #1 for the F20 case?

Thanks

I have the #1 Tri-Point, works fine on all my cameras (the complete F series).

I am looking for the right tool also. Will you please post when you located the right one? Thanks!

Thanks for your help. I ordered a #1.

I believe you need a tri-point screwdriver, not a tri-wing screwdriver. The difference is the tri-point, each wing goes through the center axis, while on a tri-wing, each wing is a little offset.
