You can buy such screwdrivers in a good electrical or auto specialty tools shop. Look online perhaps at Amazon. <br />

In a quick look around, I do not see these anywhere. Tamper proof screws are today largely TORX with &nbsp;a pin and commercial TORX drivers with a hole to accommodate the pin are readily available. <br />

You will probably have to make your own tool.

Sony actually introduced these wide slot screws to make it easier for end users to open the panels without any special tools! &nbsp; They should fit a small coin or similar.

Ive googled the type of screw and cannot find anything.<br />

Sony Laptop Screw

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.
