Hi

What is with all these new fangled screw heads on modern electrical
appliances?? I know the Torx type, but I have a fan heater I want to
put a longer cable on and I can't ID the screw head to open it...

Well, describe it then...! Or post a picture on a website...

....ermmm the problem is that the screw is located down a long moulded
recess about 2" or so and the dia of the screw. So a useful picture is
out the question and also, I can't see the side profile to explain it
in detail... IT IS NOT A STANDARD 'star' TORX though, I can
emphatically say that.

I thought there would be similar screws being used universally...?

Thanks for the comments though.
