Hi anyone broke open their gp2x know what sized screwdriver to use. I've used all my jewellers phillips head and they are in too tight at a slightly no standard size. If anyone has the exact size i'd be in gratitude.
 
You can buy a set of small screwdrivers, straight and crosshead, from discount shops - they only cost about £1 for a set - you can buy a small crosshead type to open your GP2x cheaply this way (as part of the set). That's what I did.
 
Those screws are hard! They ate right through 2 cheap screwdrivers I have. I ended up using one a bit too big for those holes, they are a bit larger now. I thought I was stripping the screws and was starting to freak out, soon found out that the screws were in perfect shape and my screwdrivers unusable. :)

I had the same problem Nelligan. Hopefully the one Mr.Jabberwocky mentioned worked. Cheap screwdrivers just break on those screws even though they have been fine for watches, hdds and whatever else I threw at them previously. Maybe GPH should have made the joystick like the screws.
