Man, opening that case needs a TINY screwdriver!!

I bought a super capacitor and need to pull the two screws to open the cover and remove the battery. Anyone else who's done this, where did you get a philips head that small? Optician or something? A hardware store made for ants?

jewellers screwdrivers, dollar stores usually sell them, you'd probably find them in Radio Shack or similar also http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_s...ellers screwdrivers&sprefix=jewellers,aps,427

Ensure that in mSetup 'Power Off Disconnect' is set to 'Immediate'.

To see the replacement process...

Thanks, jokiin!

You too, russ331! I'm using the Mac GUI, but yeah I know I've gotta set it to immediate power-off. Once I get those damn screws off!

Standard Phillips head screws and screwdrivers come in sizes indicated in numbers ranging from 0 to 24. The correct size Phillips screwdriver to fit the Mobius is #0 and would be one of the sizes you would find in a set of Jewelers screwdrivers like the ones jokiin mentioned. You can also purchase an individual Phillips #0 screwdriver at any good hardware store.

I checked RadioShack...the only set they had was $60. So ordered a set on Amazon for $4. Hmm...maybe the ridiculously of that inventory is one of the reasons RS folded?

I had one as i also mess with my smartphone. That size is pretty common actually, used in phones, watches etc...
But i couldn't find an Allen hex key small enough to adjust the focus! even the 1mm didn't fit. its like 0.3-0.5mm, it probably so thin its almost flexible.

The Mobius comes with the Allen key tool for the lens
