    Give dell a ring, if you under warranty they will send you a new bottom plate, otherwise you can sometimes find them on ebay.

    Or take one of them to a hobby store and see if they have any like it.

    Yea if it's still under warranty give Dell a call. They won't just send you the screws, it'll come with the entire bottom plate. Yea, don't ask...

    Hey bro let me know how it works out for you if you give dell a call. I have the same problem but the tech wouldnt want to help me and pretty much was blaming everything on me. He told me i needed the premier service to get the panel replaced. The laptop is only 2 weeks old :| so im def still under warranty.
