    Does anyone know someone who can supply Torx T5 screws (sized to fit Zenbook)?

    I'm looking for ANY and ALL leads for someone with Torx T5 (1.42 mm) screws the same length as those used to secure a UX31A Zenbook case (as opposed to Blackberry assembly size). I've tried brick-and-mortars & auctions with no luck so far. And google generally leads me to shady sites as well. Backstory: my comp is generally fine but I lost some screws a while ago during a cleaning & have had to improvise.

    I'm willing to pay a reasonable price, even if we're talking some spares being mailed in a ziploc.

    Fastenal should have them or be able to order them for you. They have stores everywhere in the USA.

    Fastenal will definitely have them. I like McMaster because you can order online (and their search tool is AH-mazing), and if you order early enough you often receive your order that afternoon.

    It's a god-send at work when you just need that bag of screws.
