Tools to open my SXPS 1640

Okay, my situation is getting worse ( http://forum.notebookreview.com/dell-xps-studio-xps/642457-xps-1640-black-screen-death.html)

It used to take several hard resets to get it back on but now it took my like 6 hours. I decided to reconnect the wires (if its loose).

I need the tools to open disassemble the laptop. Can someone let me know what and where to get it?

Thanks !

 

Get a nice set of computer screwdrivers (Phillips, flathead) from your local computer store/hardware store. Spudger would be especially nice for thin bezels. Patience, patience, oh and did I forget to mention patience?

 

are there any specific tools that I am looking at ? Or are they all general ?

 

if the 16xx is anything like a business line Dell or HP, or Lenovo for that matter, a general set of screwdrivers like Tsunade mentioned is enough. a pair of tweezers and pliers wouldn't hurt to pull out screws if you can't fit your fingers in small gaps. also some scotch tape to place your loose screws (not the ones in your head ) down on would help prevent them from rolling around and getting lost.

 

A magnetic screw tray is helpful, as well as an actual magnet if your magnetic screwdriver aren't powerful enough. If you live near a Sears, they have Craftsman screwdrivers that have a ton of torque in a manageable/comfortable package.

I bought like 4 of the blue Phillips, one of the best I have used. Individually they are like 3-4 dollars a pop.
