Tools are something people add to their toolbox as they go through life. You never know when you may need them again, even if you get rid of the device in question, a friend may ask you to repair something.
People into repairing things would likely get a full kit of sizes (iFixit for example) and not wish to part with one or two.
Even if someone was willing to sell an individual driver by the time you have arranged for postage or fuel, you may as well order online or visit a localish toolshop.
Maybe someone will prove me wrong but just in case your left hanging and no one replies to your post.

You sometimes get only one go upon stubborn chassis screw upon N9, so a worn one probably won't cut it. Make sure it has decent handle to get a lot of downforce upon screw. Screws around the battery frame are "T6". Give me a shout if need a few replacement screws.
If you run into problems or would like a spare N9 let me know as several now surplus to requirements.

If you would like to help me in my efforts for the N9, please DM me for my address. Thanks so much. J

Unfortunately until you have made a few more posts here (quite a low number maybe 5 posts), you do not have the ability to use the PM = Personal Messaging facility for contact details. How about I send you three devices to be going on with as never know when emac will fail? These have all been resurrected in the past when others gave up, so probably running PR1.3 40.2012.21-3.420.4_PR_420 (Swiss variant for when all else fails). Time to choose.

No apologies needed as very wise. as live out in the sticks will send it to your workplace via Royal Mail Special Delivery but will probably go out Mon/Tues next week. You can edit post to remove address now if wanted.

I'll start development soon, very excited for a new up to date OS for this great device. Hopefully there won't be any hurdles too big to overcome.
All the best.

Just wondering if anyone was in the UK and didn't need their torx plus screwdrivers any more and wanted to sell them to me secondhand. I have an N9 and I want to change the battery. It's size 4IP and 5IP I need, yes?
Thanks,
Jack
