screwdriver for MacBook Pro 2011 Early machines

Dear Community,


I need to know what is the proper screwdriver for opening the back plate of my MacBook Pro 2011 Early (13 and 15 inches) machines. Can you show it on some online shops exactly?


Regards,


Gabor

I did not recognize... I was given a set of screwdrivers with many different heads, which apparently had several of these shaped screwdrivers, and then when I held it up to the screw, it wouldn't even engage. Specifically, I've tried searching for the type of computer so far for online purchase, but have been unsuccessful - they don't specifically write my type of computer anywhere in the description. That's why I asked here. Thanks anyway.

the shape is important. but so is the size.


The most common drywall screws, for example, are also Phillips screws. However, they are MUCH larger #2 Philiips, and have a substantial blunt spot on the tip of the Driver. For Applications where even more torque is required, #3 Phillips might be used, and they have an even larger blunt nose on the driver.


Sometimes the very small Phillips screw drivers are sold as Jeweler's screwdrivers.
