I am trying to swap the cd-rom from a dead ibook to one with a bad drive. The smallest torx bit I can get my hands on is a T10, but it's just a little bit too big. What size do I need, or is there a workaround?
iBook G4-1.33/768 || B&W G3-450/640 || Beige G3-G4 450/352 || Beige G3-400/256 in Classic case || Beige G3-300/256 || PB 5300cs Pictureframe 100/24

Is it a clamshell? It's a size 8 torx, as was my PB 520. These are available at Sears tool center for about 3-4 dollars. Good luck.
