    Hi, does anyone know what size bolts are used on sega switches. The smallest socket I have is 3 mm and it is too big. Specifically, on the virus hole switch on an ID4 game. They are not slotted, and I think I am rounding the head off trying to use needle nose pliers. Thanks for any help you can provide.

    These are 2mm heads and you really need to use a hand socket wrench

    those lil screws are such a PIA when you don't have the right tools ... I once had to use needle nose vise grips on a similar switch repair when I had no access to the right socket/wrench for those tiny lil things

    Look for a set of ignition wrenches.

    I have a set in SAE and Metric, all on a keyring assorted by size.
