    Hi all,

    I am looking for any kind of info on the two screws in the battery compartment that attaches the bluetooth module to the laptop. I was able to obtain and install sucessfully the "optional" bluetooth module (with the help of these forums) into my Acer Aspire 2002. Unfortunately the two screws that hold the module in place was missing from my laptop when it was shipped. Where can I get replacement screws? Radio Shack wasn't much help. And the hardware stores only stock #4s which are still too big.

    Any info would help,
    Thanks, Wm

    Aspiring fan :)

    Since you're in Toronto, you may want to checkout some of the electronic parts stores. One shop that usually has a bit of everything is Active Surplus on Queen St W near Spadina. They were renovating recently, but don't know if they're still there. Another place is up in Markham called Sayal Electronics. Here's their website http://www.sayal.com they may have what you're looking for.

    The only problem I can see is trying to match the screw length and thread size. It may be a bit difficult to match it without having a reference screw. If they're really small screws, try checking out places that sell eye-glasses.
