DaemonCollector:
Those screws are just Security Bits, also seen em called Female Torx. I know Happs sells a driver for em as well as tons of other places online. Just need to find out the bit size.

Druin, get out your calipers?  :)

Actually, I am guessing they aren't lighted.  I didn't want to try to send a current to them as I didn't want to blow them if they were lighted.  But looking at the schematic ( which I couldn't find by Google'n ) but which Druin so kindly pointed out, has no current flowing to them. 

Oh well, as long as my switch keeps working, I won't need to crack it open.  But it would be nice to know.

Thanks for the info.
Druin:
I did try sending current to them although I knew there was no point - if you had to do that, how could you also read them as switches?  But I was bored.

I slowly ran up from 0 to 30 volts on my power supply (that way I wouldn't blow anything because I would see activity before going too far).

Let's just say there's no lights in there.

I do have a digital caliper....

Inner post diameter:  0.05"
Farthest diagonal between star outter points:  0.17"
Closest diagonal between star inner points:  0.13"

They take a T-20 Security Torx.
That, or a Craftsman "Screw-Out" set, it they are really rusted into place.

I've only been able to get them out with the Torx bit about 1/2 the time, on the ones I've done.
