If not, it is in a hidden page and I forgot to activate :P You need to use a chrome-vanadiun tip screwdriver for it to last, if not it will last only 5 or 10 screws. YMMV, but the black tips are the best ones. BTW, a tip costing around $2 I see no reason for doing this hack, unless you live in a third-world-far-away-country-with-big-customs-taxes like me :o)]]>Nov 18th 2006 11:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/mini-how-to-make-a-tool-to-breach-nintendos-security-screws/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/mini-how-to-make-a-tool-to-breach-nintendos-security-screws/Nov 19th 2006 12:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/mini-how-to-make-a-tool-to-breach-nintendos-security-screws/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/mini-how-to-make-a-tool-to-breach-nintendos-security-screws/Nov 19th 2006 7:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/mini-how-to-make-a-tool-to-breach-nintendos-security-screws/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/mini-how-to-make-a-tool-to-breach-nintendos-security-screws/Nov 22nd 2006 7:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/mini-how-to-make-a-tool-to-breach-nintendos-security-screws/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/mini-how-to-make-a-tool-to-breach-nintendos-security-screws/

Ha. I posted that on your forums over a year ago, but you get points for making a whole tutorial out of it. ]]>Nov 19th 2006 4:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/mini-how-to-make-a-tool-to-breach-nintendos-security-screws/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/mini-how-to-make-a-tool-to-breach-nintendos-security-screws/Nov 19th 2006 9:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/mini-how-to-make-a-tool-to-breach-nintendos-security-screws/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/mini-how-to-make-a-tool-to-breach-nintendos-security-screws/Nov 19th 2006 10:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/mini-how-to-make-a-tool-to-breach-nintendos-security-screws/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/mini-how-to-make-a-tool-to-breach-nintendos-security-screws/
The how-to tag only lists posts back to Feb. 2006. It doesn't have the post I was asking about.

Trouble is that my 2nd attempt left bits of the melted pen in the hole - making it a bit more trickey to remove.

I've heard that putting hot solder into the hole will melt the plastic around it and pop the screw open. Would this work in my case tho?]]>Nov 28th 2006 9:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/mini-how-to-make-a-tool-to-breach-nintendos-security-screws/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/mini-how-to-make-a-tool-to-breach-nintendos-security-screws/Nov 29th 2006 4:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/mini-how-to-make-a-tool-to-breach-nintendos-security-screws/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/mini-how-to-make-a-tool-to-breach-nintendos-security-screws/Dec 2nd 2006 12:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/mini-how-to-make-a-tool-to-breach-nintendos-security-screws/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/mini-how-to-make-a-tool-to-breach-nintendos-security-screws/

This is not true, Sears no longer has lifetime replacement on their hand tools. So much for buying Craftsmen anymore.

Do you know how to hack a DS screen to run an external monitor?

Well, any ds hacks really, but that one mostly.

Because my screen has broken... :(
