I need to get inside my TomTom ONE (original version).

I'm intrigued, why?

To repair it. It charges intermittently. Giving it a thump restores
charging,
the green LED on the top remains lit regardless so its definitely
internal.
A dry-joint, or lose earthling screw maybe, I am sure I will find it when
I
get inside the case.

Can some one tell me what size hex pin-head security screws it uses,
and where the best place to buy a tool?

Are you sure that it's not a star?

No, its like an alan key type head with a central spigot. Not a Torx etc.

With the torx ones, inserting an appropriate sized small screwdriver
and giving it a quarter turn pings off the pin, and allows a standard
torx tool to be used. Might work with alan key heads too. Close your
eyes as you twist the screwdriver so the pin doesn't fly into your eye.

Thanks Andrew, the real thing is here http://tinyurl.com/29n6lh perhaps
I can find one or two other items I could use to justify the postage.
Any one know where I could get something over the counter?

Ages ago I got a very similar set from Machine Mart. I'm pretty
certain they still sell them.
