Greetings:

I want to clean the bugs and crumbs out of my Apple Pro Keyboard. It's
a white one (Model No.: M7803) and has four Torx screws in the bottom
holding it together.

I know they're smaller than a T-8. (Already tried!) Can anyone tell me
what size Torx driver I need? T7-T3??

Any Web sites that list this information?

Thanks,

Jeff

Someone else posted a reference for the keyboard.

Finding small Torx screwdrivers is hard - I needed to get a T5 in
order to open my Palm Pilot (in order to replace the screen). I
found that local hardware stores (even big ones like Sears and Home
Depot) didn't carry them.

After much web searching, I bought a set here:

http://www.crawfordtool.com/wiha_torx.html

I bought the 7-piece ESD-safe precision drivers (sizes T4-T10).

If you think you need the even-smaller T3 size, there is one other set
that goes smaller - a handle/blade set that has T3-T10, plus T15 and
T20.

I have no relationship to Crawford Electronics other than being a
satisfied customer of exactly one purchase.
