Hello, Been looking to open my scuf controller as the charging port is broken. I cant seem to find the right security driver for opening it up. Any help would be great thanks. Update (10/21/2016)
Took these pictures to see if this would further point me in the right direction! thanks
Gosh, this was a pain to find! So here it is what looks like the appropriate bit… Part documentation https://uk.c.misumi-ec.com/book/SAI1_SEA… Part https://uk.misumi-ec.com/vona2/detail/22… I’m not absolutely certain on the required size of the 2 available sizes for the bit. My guess is part number SF3B. Corresponding screw https://uk.misumi-ec.com/vona2/detail/22… It looks like you can source the part in single units but it’s quite a pricey exercise as its about EUR 40 shipped, at east to where I live.

Here’s a repair video on it, but the guy modified the screw and it does focus well enough to see what type it is. Post a picture of it would help us to find out what it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHPRyOel… My research says it’s an E5 torx like this: http://www.kmart.com/gearwrench-1-4inch-…
Based on this video, it appears the fixer is using a Spanner bit. Unsure of the size.
You can find three of our Spanner bits (in 4mm for your driver) here: iFixit Precision 4 mm Screwdriver Bit
I found a company that will sell you the bit along with the screws, supposedly you only need to purchase a single screw. The company is a Japanese company called Saima, the bit is one of their “System 5” bits. There are two sizes, and the part numbers are SF2B and SF3B. I emailed “info@saima.co.jp” to place my order and spoke with a man named Yoshinori Kase who helped me out. Unfortunately I had reached out to them with my business email address, and when they found out I was a firearms dealer, they then refused the sale. However, this shouldn’t be an issue for the rest of you. Also, those claiming that 6 lobe bits and any other product they found is correct are either mistaken or lying.
I’d like to say the answer is https://www.reddit.com/r/scufgaming_fix/… I hope it helps anyone looking for this screwdriver for Scufgaming controllers.
