Dust on my compact

[te51cle]

Was down by the seaside snapping away with my previously trusty Fuji when I noticed a little problem. A very annoying little problem. I've got a hair in my sensor. A surprisingly large hair at that. Moderate tapping, some wishful blowing around the edge of the lens and in the flash card comparment (in the hope that there is an open route to the sensor) has failed to dislodge it in any way.



Anyone got any bright ideas for its removal before I try to find a vendor of those funny little three-pronged screwdrivers necessary to open it up ?

Anyone know the technical name for the 3-pointed screwdriver that fits in these holes ? Without one I won't be able to take my camera apart. The slots are no more than 2mm long. I've seen mobile phone screwdrivers mentioned but don't know if that's exactly the tool I should be looking for.

Ah, you're looking for the elusive Phil's head screwdriver.
