    I bought a Acer 9300 August of Last Year. I was happy with it, but some reason, I realized that I was missing about 12 screws on the bottom of my Acer. They seemed to disappear, I called Acer, they gave me a run around. After about 5 calls, they told me theres nothing they really can do, go to Radio Shack. Great Customer Service Eh? I never took this thing apart, but it seems to be missing screws. Where can I find replacement screws for cheap?

    Actually, they are right...RadioShack :D.

    Screws fall out...its just a matter of time. But since August?...that's just shoddy build quality IMHO.

    I make sure my screws are always tight :confused: :D

    Nothing worse than a loose screw :eek: RBTL.

    RBTL = Read Between The Lines.

    There is a seller on Ebay that sells a bag of screws for Acer laptops. I bought a bag from him which amounted to about 30 screws, different ones all for Acer.
