Hi Can anyone recommend the best instrument to get mpc screws (internal ones) out.
The ones attached to the casing come out easy enough - but the heads on pretty much all the internal screws are ruined, so I can't even get at the pads/backlight. Someone helpfully suggested I use a microfile to create a new slot in the head but not had much luck - screws almost seem to small for this.
Looked around Maplins (for a microfile or something similar) - but didn't find anything. So any tips on getting these internal screws out would be welcome. Am based in the UK but if you know of a tool that does the job happy to order from anywhere.
