Replacement Laptop Screws
Tonight I Noticed that my Laptop's screen was rocking... I found that the two back screws were loose... But the bottom two were outright MISSING. After plenty of looking, I cannot find either screw...
 The problem is that I do not have any more of that size screw... actually, One of my laptops is MISSING a bunch as it is. Aside from cannibalizing old laptops and Ebay, where can I get replacement laptop screws? In bulk? As a kit?

Re: Replacement Laptop Screws
Can you make a picture of which ones you need? I'll send you some next Saturday for the cost of postage (I'm sure an envelope will fit them so it'll be super cheap)...

Re: Replacement Laptop Screws
I'll probably have a few spares from these 2 m6300's that I'm going to make into one...I just haven't gotten around to working on them yet. FWIW RD, the guy I got these 3 from has a bunch more...
 ...I'm working on it...

Re: Replacement Laptop Screws
If I'm not mistaken, you're probably missing the 2x M4 sized screws holding the display down from the rear? You can buy like packs of 5 to 10 for peanuts on eBay. Service manual will tell you exactly what size they are

Re: Replacement Laptop Screws
The new screws were a fail... the rattled loose due to being slightly undersized
 Time to try again? |

Re: Replacement Laptop Screws
Noted... I just am uneasy about ebay screw kits... I am not sure why, it just doesn't feel right.

Still some of the kits (lots of screws) were under $9.00 with shipping, and that was probably inflated (to Canada) shipping, as I was too lazy to switch from ebay.ca |

Re: Replacement Laptop Screws
Part of it was that I was looking for a bulk kit for future use... yeah, there would be extra screws leftover with the linked kits...
I'll think about it. |
