Mom!

My Black & Decker cofeemaker died! I pushed the button to turn it on and the digital control module came unglued and fell down inside the thing. Easy fix, right? Just open up the bottom and glue the module back in with E-6000 adhesive. Wrong!

When I flipped the coffeemaker over to see what type screwdriver would be needed to gain access, which type screw head did I find?

A) Straight slot
B) Phillips
c) Star
D) Square
E) Hex
F) None of the above

If you guessed "F", you're correct! The thing is held together with 3-prong screws the shape of those Fidget Spinner things! Do I have 3-prong screwdrivers? No. Will any other type of screwdriver work? No (I tried 'em all). Will a set of 3-prong screwdrivers (if I can find them) cost more than the coffeemaker itself? Probably. Is the coffemaker now in the trashcan? Yes.
