Light comes on but no heating. How do I get a screwdriver to open the irritating user-proof screw on the bottom?

  • shughes Sep 23, 2007

    Actually, the screws are like torx, but have a central pin that stops you getting a regular torx driver in - anyone know where to buy such a drilled-out torx set?

Shughes,

The torx bits are called tamper proof bits. I bought my set a Lowes.

If the screw has an internal star configuration then it is a torx screw. torx drivers are easy to come by. you may even find an allen wrench might fit it. another is a three slot driver, then there is a one way screw that has flats for screwing in but ramps that push the regular screwdriver off it. use a diagonal cutting plier and press it tightly in the screw head and rotate counter clockwise.
