Tonight is a sad sad night...

[Chiuy]

I got my Agility 3 120GB SSD at 8:00pm today, delivery dude came super late.
I ate my dinner and was preparing myself to install the SSD.

Sad part... I have small philip screws, but MBP uses these ultra mini screws.
Suggestions on how to open it with common household items beside a philip screw? otherwise, I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow to go to Walmart.

Wait until the morning, and get a multi-head screw driver from Sears. They are great and the single tool has Phillips, Straight Slot, and Torx for almost every Apple Application.

Philips #00 and a #6 Torx.

Sorry, wait 'til you get the proper screwdriver (#00) as these screws are super easy to strip.

Just wait and buy proper high-quality precision screwdrivers that fit snug in the slots. Otherwise you'll strip the fragile screws by using low quality household tools. I have first hand experience in the matter, and wished I was more patient.

All the Walmarts around me are 24/hrs. I guess I’m not as patient as you because I would have been there!

The Torx screwdrivers were too big for me, so I ended up using needlenose pliers to extract them.

If you have glasses, the repair philips screwdriver might work.

 

[aluren]

A really sharp knife

Always use the proper tool.

Thus....I have spoken

Op:

Guess you don't plan very far ahead

 

[JHUFrank]

I concur, wait for the right tool.

 

[blkonblk17]

Wake up and head to sears. They are about to open

 

[BiggAW]

You need the right tools. Torx drivers as well. I've had those since replacing the HD on an iBook (otherwise known as computer maintenance HELL).
