I recently bought some new batteries from my V5 that I used to play with as a child. Unfortunately, the buttons have become unresponsive. I decided on taking it apart so that I could clean the part of the circuit board with which the buttons make contact, but I was unable to take it apart because the 4 screws were too small to be unscrewed by the same screwdriver that unscrewed the first screw. What screwdriver should I use to unscrew them? Thank you.

You'll need to use JIS screwdrivers. Sizes #0 and #00 usually work.

I googled it and I couldn't find anything like that, just sets costing £50+. Where can I buy just the one screwdriver by itself?

You could also try getting a phone repair kit, that's what I've been using to take mine apart. I find they're usually small enough to fit. :lol:

That sounds like a good idea, thanks! :D Can you send me the link to the specific one you've used (so that I know I'm spending my money on something that will definitely work), or did you buy it irl? :mellow:

Hi, sorry for the late response! I bought it at Walmart IRL, but it looks like they have it online, too!

This is the one I got.

I hope this helps! :lol:

Unfortunately I'm in the UK so I can't buy stuff from Walmart as we don't have that here, but I bought something similar on amazon. Thanks for your help ~

 
They're rarely sold separately - I got mine as a small set.

Otherwise, you can visit a watch repair shop or a hardware store near you and ask. They may have one.
