You know a piece of tech is going to be fun to take apart when it makes you go buy a new set of bits just to be able to open it

@foone What even is the product? Nintendo products come to mind, but I recall them using a different kind of bullshit screws

I know some Apple products use tiny pentalobes but this is a ~4mm screw. way bigger.
-

@dragonarchitect I suspect the company that made this device was trying to keep people from opening it.
naturally I'm not gonna let that stop me

@marado TS20/TS25

@foone could these be bypased with like, a flat screwdriver wedged betweeen the lobes and the pin, or would the torque required make such behavior impractical?
and like probably damaging to the screwdriver I guess
-
@Loosf I gave it a try, but nope. I think they're really really in there.
-
I'M IN.
More pictures later, I gotta go take someone to the doctor, but for now... Why design your product to be waterproof when you can just glue some silica packets in there?
-
OKAY so this is a Lyft BIT041B, e-bike location and communications module.
-
After I bought the right screw bits, I'm in. Obviously this thing is going to be heavy on communications, so we've got a bunch of comms chips.
