What kind of screw driver do you need to unscrew the naomi motherboard? Does any know what kind? I don't want to rip it out with plyers. Its the same kind of screws that's in both my CVS2 and MVC2 cabinets. Its like a weird kind of screw (I know I should put a pic) but its common I think to all naomi motherboards that are screwed into the control panel. So does anyone know what kind of screw driver I need? Hope this description helps. Thank you.

The screws on my Naomi are standard types that can be removed with a regular screw-driver. You will probably have to show us a pic of the screws before we can give you a good answer.

Man if its not a typical Phillips head, more than likely its either Allen screws, or Torx screws. Its a pain when operators switch out mounting hardware like that. :smt012

Those are security screws. You can buy them on ebay or a hardware store. There are different types, so you should probably bring a pic if you go to the store.

Or to ghetto rig a fix... Get the cap from a BIC pen, and heat it so that the plastic is pliable. Then, push down onto that screw for a few secs for it to create a mold. Then, use the BIC cap as a ghetto screw bit.
