Screw Driver for Servicing WD HDDs?
 

Can anyone furnish description and/or nomenclature identification for the
type of screw driver required to remove the circuit board retaining screws
used on WD Caviar HDDs.

Most likely you do not have sufficient knowledge to perform the task you are
indicating.
If you had the knowledge you would already have the proper screwdriver.

I don't think that he was asking for an evaluation of his technical
abilities, was he?
He will need a Torx bit driver.

Rita,
Thanks much for your response to my posting re appropriate screw driver for
the WD drives.
I have found tool catalog references to star, torq & torx drivers ---- and
wasn't sure as to which type to order.
I assume that all three types are probably the same?

I have a defective drive, afflicted with the 'click of death' . I want to
try switching circuit boards with another spare drive of the same
nomenclature, hoping that the problem may be due to a defective circuit
board.

Thanks again for your courtesy,
CharlesV

Do you have a PhD in swapping controller boards?

Usually Torx No 5.

What kind of attitude is that? Ever thought that some people
actually learn by doing things and occasionaly can benefit
from a bit of help? In addition you confuse knowledge and skill.

A hammer and chisel should do it.
