I have a sb130 flash I picked up 4 weeks ago, i put batteries in it worked fine for a month, quit working so i put new batteries in it, still did not work. I figured out that one of the original batteries i put in leaked., it did leak bad so i thought i would pull it apart and clean it, went out to my tool box and magnifying glass and found that the screw heads looks like a Phillips screwdriver, BUT with only 3 points instead of 4. i said all that to say this, where do i find/purchase this screwdrivers?

thanks

They carry small screw driver sets

Those are what you call security screws. They are used to keep the consumer out of the equipment.

I believe they are called tripoint.

3-point screwdriver tips may be included in some sets along with flat, hex, phillips, torx, etc. Check hardware and home improvement stores, maybe even Walmart.

Could be a deterrent to keep you from killing yourself. The capacitor can be quite dangerous. https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Awr9DtDOKSRbqsMAZVZx.9w4;_ylu=X3oDMTByYnR1Zmd1BGNvbG8DZ3ExBHBvcwMyBHZ0aWQDBHNlYwNzcg--?qid=20070120013710AAzRq9P&p=electronic%20flash%20capacitor%20dNger

Always remember the age old advice when working on delicate electronic equipment. If something is hard to shift don't force it, use a bigger hammer!!!!

I've never seen thre-pointed screws, but the Japanese use JIS screws, which look similar to Philips.

Well Bill, after your meandering post yesterday, have you made up your mind to buy that D850 or was that just another wasted post of yours?
