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. "Charles V" THIS.net wrote in message nk.net...

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.

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.
