    my m17x barebone kit is missing nearly 1/2 the screws I need...


    from what I can tell there are 2 sizes that are used mostly, but I just want to double check...


    I have plenty of the larger black(3mm dia?) but I need quite a few of the smaller silver (2.5mm dia??) screws... are my sizes right, or are they SAE screws?


    :(

    But i'm lucky since the first one recieved with some faults and they shipped me a new replacement which means i'll have enough screws for 1 laptop :p
