Black and Decker Steam Iron 420. Switch quit working. It appears to be the switch, won't stay on, but there is also a weird three way star (compared to Phillips 4 way star) screw to remove. Is such a screw driver commercially available? Any ideas?

Some are that way to thwart us do-it-yourself fixers.
Try Sears for the screw driver. If not get a thicker dremel cutting disk and cut straight slot in the screw head. Then a regular flat screwdriver should work. This is how I got my Black and Decker Iron open. My problem seems to be a circuit board problem.
