Fuji Finepix E900 Screws

I have a Fuji Finepix E900 camera that recently stopped working. The camera turns on for a second or two when I press the button, but then dies. I tried swapping in fresh, confirmed-to-work batteries with no change, so I'm assuming there's a contact or wire that's come a little loose and is keeping the camera from working properly. I want to take it apart to see if I can fix it, but I can't find screwdrivers to match the screw heads on the camera.

Most of the screws on the outside look like philips head screws, except that even a #00 driver is too big for them.

On the side panel near the I/O ports, there are also two y-shaped screw heads that even the guy at the hardware store didn't know what to make of.

Does anyone know enough about the e900 or camera disassembly/repair in general to tell me what I need to get to take it apart, and where to buy it? Any special advice on what to look for once I've opened the case would also be much appreciated.

Yeah, I realize it's a lot less frustrating to just buy a new camera, but the economy being what it is I find myself with a lot more time and a lot less money on my hands, so that's not really an option right you.

Many thanks.

It's very possible that they're #000 or #0000 screws. You might be able to find them at a hardware store or probably a higher end computer parts store like Fry's or Microcenter. Bring the camera with you to check size.

Also, check an optical shop or jewelry store that does repairs. Some glasses repair kits and watch repair shops have tiny, precision screws. Also, jeweler's scredriver sets and a loup mught be handy.
