Hacking Wii disassembly without a triwing?

[windwake]

I ordered a triwing and after a long time it hasn't come.

I got my wiikey today and want to open the Wii, but don't have one. Are there any techniques/makeshift triwings that will allow me to open it without one? The burnt pen thing doesn't really work.

Keep waiting? How long is a "long time"?

If not, buy another. Don't tamper with the screws with any other screwdriver, you'll end up stripping the screws. D:

I would wait for the triwing to come in. Its a pain in the arse to try to remove triwing screw with anything other than a triwing screwdriver

A drill would probably work.

even WITH my ebay-ed tri wing. like halfway in, the screwdriver started stripping my screw so it was freaking hard to get the remaining screws out. luckily the 2nd tri wing screwdriver i bought off deal extreme came in shortly and that one rocks. the one i bought on ebay is almost "bent" from just unscrewing a few screws.....

so don't try anything w/o one
