Cleaning a Nomad

		Just a question, would it be a good idea to clean my nomad? I bought it used and cleaned the outside, but the inside there may be a lot of stuff to clean up, I know i'll have to clean the headphonejack and all, but is it safe to open up and do so? I've done it to my gamegear but the nomads a little more complex.

		it's ok, I had to take mine apart because soda got spilled on the six button area and they got real sticky. Only thing is, I had to find a security bit to get the 1 screw out(if I remember right it was only security screw).

		AH! that sonnabitch! I see the screw now, its the one thats under the battery casing, dammit. I take it I can get the screwdriver i need off of http://www.lik-sang.com...? I also need a replacement lens, any ideas?

		Yep, Lik-Sang have a suitable screwdriver (you want a 4.5mm type). You can also improvise a driver - see my little home-made tool at http://www.smspower.org/smsreader/cartridge.html Mike
