I did have ome problem like this, though. The PSU for
my Panasonic
handheld computer -- the one with a voltage selector switch for 110V or
220V mains -- is assemed by 4 deeply-recessed System Zero screws. No idea
_why_ they used those darn things, but the holes they were down were too
small for the official System Zero tool to go in. But only just. I ran a
twist drill down the hole to enlarge it slightly and had no problems
gettingthe screws out and back (or indeed in replacing the blown fuse inside)
"Tamper-proof" is NOT "ARD-proof".
Maybe it's just a "test".
"Only those who can get past it can be trusted inside"?
My TRS80s had a bigger problem, trying to come up with the right color and
consistency of "Glyptol"? to keep them "on warranty" after adding
additional circuitry.
