How would i go about getting a triwing screw driver out of my gba without actually having a triwing screwdriver. If anybody could help me i would appreciate it.

Use a really small flat head screwdriver, and put it in one of the the three prongs and push down really hard and turn. Thats what I do.

you can also try to melt a pen and let it harden around the head of the screw you are trying to get out.

I tried that one while trying to get the guts out of my GBC and melted it into the plasitc, then when I tried to turn it the case snapped. It can be done, just be careful.
