Can anyone shed any light on what i need to open up my laptop fan? Its a couple of years old and filled with clumps of dust, and it gets too hot so i want to open up the bottom and clean out the fans. The model is a toshiba satellite p20 series 504, but i think the key type is pretty universal. The key holes look a bit like an alan key (hex wrench),but are curved in slightly along each straight bit, whats the name of the tool i need and where can i get it??:confused:

Thanks in advance:D

Ok, you said it was curved, and that threw me off... that is called a 'Torx' screw. I got a great Torx driver at Lowe's with like 8 different small sizes for like $6.
 
well its sort of curved inwards.. it was quite hard to describe. Anyway thanks for your help.
