Where to find tool to open Sega Nomad?


Recommended Posts

Hey all,

I have a Sega Nomad that has a very loose volume dial. It's very sensitive, and I lose the sound completely if I barely touch it. Anyway, I need to open it to see if I can fix it, but the screws aren't normal screws. Anyone know what type of tool or screwdriver I need? Also, I live in the South SF Bay Area. If you know where I can find it, that would also be a big help.

How many of those do you think were sold btw?  I have one, and I know they weren't too popular.

Cuz they were way over priced.

I tried looking for sales figures online, couldn't find any, but I did find this:

The star-shaped screw which holds the Nomad together is called a security

bolt, and a bit used to remove it us available from MCM electronics. Ask

for part nos. 22-1150 and 22-1145 when ordering. Not affiliated with them,

just a satisfied customer who was happy to be able to take apart Game Gear

cartridges with said bits.

I don't work for or with Sega, I'm just a satisfied customer who is

really into portable video game systems.

Got that from an FAQ you can find at: http://www.studio42.com/vidgame/SGNomad/nomadfaq.shtml

Hopefully that'll help you out sidearms. I had a similar problem when I was trying to take apart my N64, since that used a weird hexagonal screw.
