i use a screwdriver which enuf for me to open ps3 hdd screw..esp the blue screw which is very tight..but i dunt know this screwdriver size..just bought that in a supermarket in Miri(randomly..my luck)

but after i compare to another screwdriver..the size shud be around Ph3(philip3) or Ph4(philip4)..and i suggest u to buy a screwdriver with bigger handle (not small2 screwdriver)..it is easier for u to loosen the screw..

haha..if u very exhausted with all the solutions.. i can try to snap my screwdriver pics for you~ n put side to side comparison with a another screwdriver..
