Nomad and triangle screws
I was the proud owner of a SEGA nomad. Now i am the not so proud owner of a sega nomad as that it stopped working. Im good with a soldering iron and finding any kinds of physical problems that might affect it but... the screws require triangular bits to remove! I have see these kinds of screws many places b4 but never a screwdriver. I spent a week going to every hardware store in the area searching but found nothing. Does anyone know where i can get one? Has anyone else run into this problem?

If they are the same as the Gameboy security screws you should be able to find a suitable screwdriver at Lik-sang
