    Hi guys,

    was cleaning my laptop today and air dusting inside the back cover and dropped a screw for the back panel, searching high and low and have no idea where it fell....

    Can I get another one somewhere?

    Thanks

    These are standard items available at hardware stores and aallllll over the interwebs.

    If the exact size isn’t labeled it’s listed in the Alienware maintenance guide that is available on the dell support site.

    Check local computer repair shops, they usually have heaps of screws and if they aren't total scum bags, they'll let you have it for free.

    This is a good idea. Although my preference is to just buy an assortment of laptop / computer screws so I always have spares on hand.
