    After getting my SL410, upgrading RAM, removed HDD, I have lost the little screw that secures the HDD into the case. :rolleyes: I looked over the hardware manual, it doesn't say, but I think it's the "M2x3 mm" screw (one used for the bluetooth module).
    I went to the hardware store today, they did not have it. I could go through IBM Maintenance Parts and pay $23.50 for a pack of 50 or so. Does anyone know where (reputable place) to get specialized laptop screws?

    Hmm, I checked them out already. Expensive shipping for just one screw ($4). Though it does have a 5/5 (one review :p) rating at resellerratings. Maybe I'll go with them. :)

    Dunno, that's where I bought my SSD screws. $4 to ship a part you can't find anywhere isn't bad. I wouldn't want to be the guy who has to pack and ship a bunch of 1 screw shipments ;P
