I was going to check out the inside of my NGPC, but I can't take it apart fully. The control stick doesn't seem to separate from the mainboard which prevents the front shell from coming off. I would just tug on it, but I don't want to break my system. Any suggestions?

The little cap of the stcik will come off the actual stick if you yank on it with some needlenose pliers. It's not even glued, I don't think (I've taken apart three systems: 1 B&W and 2 Colors) and it fits bavck on just as tightly as if it had never been removed.

How do you get off that weird three grooved "Y" shaped screw?

To remove the three pronged screw you need a GBA three pronged screw driver. You can get it at several websites or off ebay. I have an extra if anyone wants to borrow it.

Some mentioned to me about using the end of something like a plastic pen. Melt the end of the pen (it needs to be a thin one for the NGPC though). And push it on the head of the 3 pronged screw. Wait till it dries, and unscrew. It may not work all the time, but i have tried this on a nomad and it did work! :D

I suppose it will depeand on how tight the screw is though.........

I have just had a look at the screw, and it would need a very thin plastic pen!
