I'm having trouble opening my Wii (have to open it to fix it and I've no warranty since it has expired), so far the Phillips screws have been no problem at all, it's the Triwings that are irritating me.

I bought this screwdriver to remove the triwing screws: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=320262481131

The screws I'm having trouble with are these:

The bottom left one on the pic, my screwdriver just couldn't move it if I tried it like the other triwing screws, I applied a little force... It's a bit loose and now the screwdriver won't even make it budge. The bottom right one, can't move it at all, it hasn't moved one bit.

The top ones I've tried to remove but each time, i've only been able to turn the screws around a bit and they just won't come out...

Is it my screwdriver that's the problem? I'm willing to try 1 more screwdriver before I go berserk on this thing so can any1 link me to a good triwing screwdriver on ebay that they've used to open the wii THEMSELVES?

Are you sure those particular screws are triwings? There's some regular phillips screws holding the wii together as well.

Sorry but I'd rather just get it off Ebay and from an US seller, nothing personal, I just want this thing fixed fast.
