Reddit reviews TEKTON Everybit Precision Tool Kit (27-Piece) | 2830

That... That's actually kind of terrifying.

I'd suggest going into the Apple store to see if they'll do anything. They have been known to replace computers out of warranty. Just tell them what you told us and hope for the best, I guess.

If that doesn't work out, you need to decide wether or not you should replace it with something else. This could be based on the specs of your computer. Does it run slow? Is it not doing what you need it to do?

If you're not happy with its performance anymore, I'd suggest going to a MacBook Air if you want to go portable. But if you just need it to work as a media center PC like your current MacBook is, just get a Mac Mini.

If you just want to replace the battery, check Amazon or your local hardware store. They're likely to have the screwdriver you're looking for. As to size, you'd be looking at a Tri-wing Y1, according to this article. The battery can be found all over the internet from plenty of reputable sources.

Probably not what you want to hear, but you'll probably need to get a new stickbox (desoldering the old one, soldering a new one). It's a straight forward process and hard to mess up, but the cost can be a big factor if you don't already own the equipment.
Video for reference.

Other option would be to just buy another controller off Ebay, open that controller and swap the guts with your old controller.

• Here is a [mini tool kit I use to open the controller] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009MKGRQA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) that I originally bought to open up my Macbook.
  
• the Triwing Screws on the Gamecube controllers suck, are probably rusted, and strip easily. Replace them with some new Phillips Screws.
  
• Here is a good video by Zenith about opening your controller.
  
  You can find a bunch of results for analog stick boxes on Ebay.
  
  Best of luck!

If you have patience and a steady hand, I'd say try to repair it. You can likely find the parts you need on Amazon and tutorial videos online. I've had to repair the R-button and control stick on my 3DS on two separate occasions. It was easier to do than I expected and, overall, much less expensive than getting a new system. The only other thing you would need is a precision screwdriver kit. I purchased this one for the job.

Just did this myself.

A couple tips.

Here's the clear shell: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B075JJ2KH5

Get this screwdriver kit: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B009MKGRQA

Precision tweezers also help a lot.

You'll need 3 bits out of that kid and the little plastic tool that comes with it.

• The screws are very soft and very easy to strip so tighten only until you feel it requiring a little force, then stop.
  
  
• Again, barely tighten anything because if it's even slightly too tight, once you get it all back together the buttons will either be mushy (no click feeling) or won't press at all. The shoulder button screw is what gave me that issue. Once you get it all back together, just clip the back shell on but don't screw it. Slide the Joycon back on the Switch and hold it like your would normally play - even pushing it into the switch a little. Make sure the shoulders still make that clicky feeling.
  
  
• Remember which screw goes into which hole. It matters.
  
  
• When removing or replacing the battery, don't use any metal tweezers. Just use your fingers gently and that plastic tool above to plug it back in. You don't want a short.
  
  
• This is the most important thing I can say: exercise caution when removing and reinstalling the shoulder button (the large one). The momentary switch/button (the actual button) under it is very fragile. I used a little force to get the shoulder button back on and it barely pushed into the momentary switch under and basically sheared the momentary switch and housing off. I had to get a replacement.
  
  
• When it comes to warranty worries, there are no stickers or anything and this is easily reversible.
  
  
  That's it!

I am still waiting on my kit but I like you did some research and was told to make sure you have a 4mm hex bit along with the proper size screw driver. This is the tool kit that was recommended:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009MKGRQA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have this set. Great little set.

Sold out, Amazon is an option - anyone find anything else? A kit with all this stuff would be nice but Amazon is only showing me T9 rather than the TR9 when it comes to the kits they sell

Edit: bought this bad boy

Harbor Freight on North Cunnigham in Urbana usually has this set in stock, and it includes a P5.

The ECE Supply Center (https://my.ece.illinois.edu/storeroom/catalog.asp) looks like it probably has a set or two that has a P5, but I don't know if it'd be open on Labor Day or not.

Bought this set years ago and it's covered pretty much every small electronic device I've had to work on.
Has TR6-TR9, TR15 along with small Phillips, Tri-wing (Nintendo), and Pentalobe (iPhone) bits.

https://www.amazon.com/TEKTON-2830-Everybit-Precision-Electronic/dp/B009MKGRQA/

I got this one: http://amzn.com/B009MKGRQA

Now I can open up my knives as well as my Apple electronics.

Just bought this set to use to install some SSDs in my MBPs works great and cheap.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009MKGRQA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Buy this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009MKGRQA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1#

Will most likely only need one.

Should get this little guy though, super handy.

You won’t need that.

Also tons of kits, all over the price range. Here is an example.

TEKTON 2830 Everybit (TM)... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009MKGRQA?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Best? Probably not. We've been firm believers in the Husky ones where I used to work: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-8-in-1-Precision-Slotted-and-Philips-Screwdriver-Set-71281H/204664388

I used to take laptops apart for hours every day, it always seemed to do me well. I slighly preferred their older style (looked like this)

Basically they work well until they get lost, and they're cheap enough to just repurchase.

I also used this at another job: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009MKGRQA

Not amazing quality, but I liked the selection of bits. Also cheap.

http://www.amazon.com/TEKTON-2830-Everybit-Electronics-Precision/dp/B009MKGRQA

I've got this one.

This is what I used along with a set of tweezers and a magnet to magnetize the bits, I'm sure they have sets that aren't that much more expensive with both included.




TEKTON 2830 Everybit (TM) Precision Bit and Driver Kit for Electronic and Precision Devices, 27-Piece https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009MKGRQA/

I bought this tekton screwdriver kit and it's worked beautifully for everything I've needed so far. If you ever need more, the iFixit Mako is worth every penny.

I believe that the newer models uses a pentalobe 1 head, and yeah you can just screw them back in.

I would recommend buying this

Just a suggestion, [this:] (https://www.amazon.com/TEKTON-2830-Precision-Electronic-27-Piece/dp/B009MKGRQA/ref=sr_1_6?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1468693084&sr=8-6&keywords=tekton+tools) is a good investment. I've used it for smartphones, laptops, DSLR cameras, Xbox remotes, and more, but like others are saying, on ebay you might get lucky and find a listing with a screw driver included, or just flat out find it cheaper.

This kit comes with lots of tips, extenders, a case, and another tool which I haven't found a use for yet, all for $11. You might even be able to find it cheaper somewhere else!

First i'd snag this, every dude needs a good set of tools anyway

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009MKGRQA/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

with that you can unscrew the bottom case and then just aircan everything/ look at the vents to see if there is lint.

WARRNING*** Air cans are an endothermic liquid reaction. Dont be an idiot and point the can upside down as then you'd just be spraying subzero liquid all over your computer.

When you shoot compressed air at the fan/ vents you'll usually see a cloud of dust if its been a few months.

https://www.amazon.com/Dust-Off-Compressed-Gas-Duster-Pack/dp/B00DZYEXPQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1474916670&sr=1-1&keywords=air+can

This is your laptop https://linustechtips.com/main/uploads/monthly_2016_04/Dell-XPS-15-9550-Disassembly-1.jpg.19236a764c57f928c6aefa7ca5b8b72f.jpg

Air can everything, why not, but focus on the fans/ the vents leading out of the fans. and scoop out any visable lint. also dont aircan the fans into them spinning craizly that's a good way to fuck up the fans because you can actually spin them up to some crazy rpms if you go full retard.

I have this kit. Used several times without issue. Put a few small magnet into the handle or rub a magnet against each bit--easier to catch screws onto the tip that way.

A new screen and back cover would be $68 from eBay, I just replaced the battery in mine and it's awesome, went from around 4 hrs of screen on time to 8 hrs. You can get a new screen and frame from eBay here for $57.66, and you can get a new back cover from $10.33-$19.51 (depending on color) here is Metallic Red, Black, and here's Ballistic Nylon Black, and Blue. I'm also assuming that you haven't replaced your battery either so here's the battery from Amazon for $12.98 if you want that too. If you don't have small screwdrivers/bits then you'll need to buy a cheap "mobile" work kit, I used this one from Texton for $9.24. It might seem easier to just buy a new phone, but there's nothing that really compares to the Turbo, I would also watch this video from JerryRigEverything on repairing the device before purchasing anything. The fact that the screen comes with the frame will make replacing the screen easier and you won't have to worry about applying adhesive or removing the frame from the old display, and there's a lot of adhesive holding the back cover on, when I replaced the battery I removed all of it and nothing is shaking around or loose. So for a new screen, frame, back cover, battery, and tools, it would be $90.21.

I have a MBP 2009, and i just replaced my battery: No bullshit, easiest thing i've ever done.

I bought this THIS Battery from Amazon and THIS toolkit for the Y-1 screwdriver (side note: you need this screwdriver; i opened up my MPB and saw the screws holding the battery in place and said "WTF IS THAT?" Checked Lowe's, Home Depot, and Radio Shack…none of them had it).

Take the plate off of your MPB, unscrew the two Y-1 screws, disconnect the battery cord (do not pull it out; there's a tab where in connects to the motherboard?…push it), plug in your new battery, screw it back in, put your cover back on, and BAM.

That was three weeks ago…no problems since.

Make sure you ground yourself first.

I have liked this Tekton 27 piece set for a while. I mostly like it because it comes with both size pentalobe bits, if you're doing any apple repair stuff. It comes as part of their 135 piece set too, which I think is a good deal. Reach isn't very long is the only real downside.

It depends on the quality. I have a couple sets from Wiha ranging from $15-50, but you certainly don't need to buy ones that nice. I bought a couple of these sets to give to people last year. I kept one for myself and it is percectly fine.

if you're talking about the rubber on the joystick, you find find replacement joysticks on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Gamecube-Replacement-Analog-Yellow-Replaces-Controller/dp/B004H7P0B6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421534140&sr=8-1&keywords=gamecube+joystick However, in order to open the controller, you need a tri-wing screwdriver: http://www.amazon.com/Tri-wing-Screwdriver-Nintendo-Gamecube-Gameboy/dp/B000S6AG9G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421534165&sr=8-1&keywords=triwing+screwdriver Although, I would recommend not getting if from this seller (Just wanted to show the type of screwdriver needed). While it is cheap, a lot of people have waited 6+ weeks for it and nothing from the seller (me included). I would recommend buying this handy tool kit: http://www.amazon.com/TEKTON-2830-Everybit-Electronics-Precision/dp/B009MKGRQA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1421534165&sr=8-2&keywords=triwing+screwdriver replacing the joystick isn't that hard, everything fits into place

I bought this one off amazon a little while ago and it works wonders for me. It has T-1 through T-10 which will cover all the hardware you're going to encounter. Plus it's cheap

If you don't already have a set, you could try something like this maybe? I have the larger set (Seems pricey compared to the CDN price) which I am going to use to mount my block.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/TEKTON-2830-Everybit-Precision-Electronic/dp/B009MKGRQA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1496867590&sr=8-1&keywords=tekton+everybit

You'll need to go to a micro center or specialty computer store to get the screwdrivers, since they won't be available at a regular hardware store. You'll need a small phillips head for the back case and a star bit for the hard drive.

The difficult one is the tri-wing screwdriver that you need for the battery. This is a pretty cheap set that should cover all of the bits you will need

Hope this helps!

I bought this for fixing up Gamecube controllers because it has 2 triwing tips plus all kinds of other screwdriver heads - and the screwdriver handle is hollow with a cap so you can store the screws in there while you work. Highly recommend.

I bought this set years ago - Tekton 2830 - and it's my go-to for all small electronics.

It has the PH00 you need for the DS4 and also the TR9 bit if you would ever want/need to fully open up your PS4.
Also has a bunch of special bits that are needed for iPhones, Wiis, Xboxes, and pretty much any other small electronics.

That SONOXY is probably fine, sorry I missed it on your list.

For precision something like this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009MKGRQA/ref=s9_dcacsd_bhz_bw_c_x_1

or if you are cheap https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014X1KMWW?psc=1

for normal size screw driver, because I accidentally leave mine places all the time, I just get a cheap basic one. Used to get nice $30 ones but I just lose too many. I've never purchased tools from amazon either and not used to USD so kind of tough. As long as it has philips and flat head, square or whatever it's call you are a good. Any will have those.

Get this. It has everything you need to fix and assemble most 3D printers.

In other words, if you've mastered the tool, you probably own it. If you can't be arsed to spend $11.11 on this and wait two days, then I wouldn't recommend you go "exploring". If you have done the basic research, you can't be kept out of anything. It isn't cryptography, for fuck's sake; it's a somewhat uncommon screw, the bits for which are easily available.

Yup, I just replaced it and its been working fine ever since. There are various youtube videos on replacing the power supply, its easy. You'll need a TR8 screwdriver. I bought a set that costs around 15$ CAD. Power supply cost about 55$.

There are tons of guides and videos on youtube to help you out. Its not complicated. There are around 7 screws(4 on the back of the PS4 and 3 holding the power supply in) you gotta take out. Unplug it and pull it straight out while trying not to bend the prongs. Pop your new power supply and screw everything back up. Took me about 10 minutes. I hope that fixes your issue because if it doesn't, then it might be the logic board and you might need professional help.

I've personally used the following kits:

Kit Option 1

Kit Option 2

Both are great. The second kit adds a few tools for mobile device repair/fat finger support.

I can find this https://www.amazon.ca/TEKTON-2830-Everybit-Precision-Electronic/dp/B009MKGRQA/ref=s9_simh_gw_g469_i2_r?pf_rd_m=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&pf_rd_s=&pf_rd_r=Y7SAJN4RS2ECV8VFAKNY&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=b06971ce-9992-44c1-9ee0-eb9792e71b5e&pf_rd_i=desktop but it seems to be same bits
