I have been trying with my triwing screwdriver, but they just wont come off... the crossheads will but the triwing ones are staying put :/ any ideas?

P.S. don't fancy buying a machine/kit to do it.

Have you already dis-assembled once?

I dis-assembled my new ds lite (bought 1 year ago) but not this one, this one is just being annoying.
Did you buy it used?

No it was new.
Then try Harder... Harder and harder... It will eventually unscrew if nobody tightened it...

Thats bad... Very bad... That could mean that its broken and the only way you can unscrew it is:
-Don't push on it, just turn it...
