Cleaning a wavebird.

[Kieran76]

I think someone has spilt orange juice or some other sticky substance over one of my Wavebirds and now it doesn't work. The power light flashes on and off and the power switch is quite hard to turn on. However I can't get into the thing to clean because of the screws. Does anyone know of a way to get into the thing?
Also I am pretty sure the sticky substance is not spunk so I can spare you the effort of making any lewd comments

I open my mates Wavebird after an incident with coke (not cocaine, he only does weed). I used a watchmakers screw driver (either a 1.4mm or 2mm), you need to apply a fair amount of pressure to loosen at first but it did work.

It cleaned up well (with isopropyl alcohol) and still works a year or so after the clean.

Good man, just need to find a 1940's watchmaking friend and I will be laughing.
Seriously whats a watch making screwdriver as I am usless with my hands? Can't be bothered to try and explain that.

See attached, think this set cost me a vast 99p from B&Q.

I've always referred to them as Watchmakers screw drivers, but the box says 'Precision'

Excellent, thank you very much I know where to pick some of those up from.

B&Q, poundland FOcus ect.

or try melting a biro and pusing it into the screw until it hardens then turning(worked to open my cube, did use 4 biros though)
