    Getting into my Nokia 5500

    Hi guys.

    Long ago, i had my 5500 repaired under warranty as the buttons were peeling off. The screen is full of dust particles and I wanna take it apart, clean it out, and put back with clean screen.

    But I don't have a small enough torx/allen key head.

    Anyone know where to get one? Can I borrow one from someone?

    Cheers in advance

    The screw drive is called T6 & usually the same size for Nokia phones. You can find them @ Maplin or any similar DIY shop, it'll cost you few quids...and how do to dissamble the phone you can check @ youtube com/watch?v=sOJSB9PK9Eo

    P.S. I'll check @ home do I have a spare one.

    Sorry, but I don't have a spare one. Try to check eBay, quality of screw driver won't be best, but for one job will be fine
