Like everyone else said the needed torx is included, but if you don't receive it for some reason you can use a very small flathead screwdriver to remove the torx screws.

Thats what I do because I did not buy the limited version.

What do you mean the station isn't necessary?

I can confirm that the Torx Screw Driver and a non magnetized Phillips head Screw Driver come with the Limited Edition.

There is no need for the station. No need for the HD to be hooked up. Just wait for the console to say cannot boot or something along them lines. Then start the downgrade process. The only reason I had it hooked up this time was to see if it would make the process any faster for whatever reason. Blew up instead. No need for that crap.

Maybe you were using a faulty converter or something.

My esata station works fine. Just go to radioshackbring bring the plug with you . Its like $9.00 for one. Remember a power adapter not converter. The esata station is aready set up for all the different types of power all you need is a adapter.
