    Could you recommend a cheap set of tools to open up my HP laptop?

    I kept losing the sets that I bought at Home Depot for $15 and $20 that I bought to open up MacBook Pro. So I need to buy another set.

    Does anyone know what I could search on Ebay to get a good deal on a set (I forget exactly what it's called) to open up a computer to install new HDD or new RAM

    Just grab a set of cheap jewelry screwdrivers. You can pick up a set like this at Dollar General for a buck and tax:

    Or, whatever Phillips screwdriver you happen to have hanging around at your home. Those work too, and I'm sure you already have one.

    That's so weird. You know how to search for the tutorials but not for the tools.

    Just sayin'. You're an enigma to me. The types of questions you ask versus the things you know.
