What's the name of the screwdriver that undo's the star shaped screws?

themasterassassin8787 - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

It is a T8 Torx screwdriver! I'll add the tools to this guide =)

Sam Goldheart -

i took apart my ps3 super slim and put it back together but there is no power what so ever no red light at all

Same here did you fix it?

Kriss -

One thing to pay attention to: The T8 Torx screws (at least on my 500GB model) are Tamper Proof TR8 screws, meaning you need a special screwdriver to undo them. A normal T8 wont work.
