if you could, please tell me what type blade of screwdriver you modified to remove those screws. I have the same screws and need to remove them to replace a display from a non-working camera to a camera that works. I will gladly sacrifice a screwdriver to get those $%^#% screws off! you can e-mail me with your response directly, if you choose to. My e-mail is bwhite@thebus.org. Thank you, and as we say here in Hawaii,

I replied to the forum, but I don't see it posted, so I'll reply again. The screwdriver I used was a basic "precision" or "electronic" driver out of a Radio Shack set of 6. Very cheap. I used a rotary tool to shave a millimeter or two off of the side of the smallest (1.4mm) standard flat blade. It wasn't perfect, but it was good enough to get the screws out and back in again.
