    I have a Sager 170 SM and am looking to repaste using MX-4 paste. What is the exact type of screw driver I will need to unscrew the screws holding the back panel ? How about the screws securing the heat sink to the GPU ?

    Would this do the trick:

    Generally a glasses/sunglasses screwdriver will do the job. It is a perfect fit for those tiny screws.

    Wiha Antistatic/Insulating screwdrivers. They're magnetic and have interchangeable heads/bits, too! Been using these for years... You can get 'em at Fry's Electronics (or Amazon too).

    You will want something that fits well and lets you put a decent amount of torque on the screw without threading the head.
