screw driver and where to buy it , it would be greatly appreciated.I am looking into long term use too.

These are called "torx" screws.Bunnings will have them.

I will check it out thanks.
Find out what's the size/type you need for your laptop model - not sure what of star screws you mean but is it Torx?
I got this one from ebay for my laptop.

Not sure about the size I have a 48 piece toolkit and none of them suit it. Will give that a try.thanks
I got some cheapies off eBay. Had a variety of sizes for a few dollars. Bunnings would be a good bet if you knew the size though. From memory my HDD was a torx T9
i got these for $10 at masters and comes with torx. The quality is good for the price: https://www.masters.com.au/product/900032000/kobalt-10-piece…
Try kmart? They have some cheap sets. If not, bunnings? If you can wait, eBay?
A generic set should cover most screws, unless your laptop manufacturer is a major douchebag. I remember my goold old Lenovo uses philip screws, upgraded with ease.
Note, there are star screws and star screws with a tiny pole in the middle that require a star screwdriver with a small hole as well, better to make sure first.
