    Being that I have use of 1 hand only, I have managed to lose most the screws to the cover and drive bay. Anyone know where I can get a bag of replacement oem screws?

    Contact Asus and see if they're willing to send/sell them to you. If not, try your local hardware or computer repair store.

    I am also looking for screws, I called ASUS support, who referred me to the estore , who referred me back to support . (one would thinks they could have thrown 2 in when I was sent a replacement battery but it did not happen even though I asked for them) Thanks for the link Jackeman
    For now I just use Duct tape :eek:

    Bump.

    Does anyone know which m2.5'4, m2.5.7 and m2.5'8 screws I would need. When I go to to the laptop screws site, there are a bunch under each site and they still all look kind of different.

    Help please.

    Hello Epx998,
    I do not have a disassembly manual for the G60JX. So here is how I got mine. Went to Asus Support and filled out a support ticket and explained that I needed a Disassembly Manual to upgrade my machine. They sent me one as a .pdf file via email.
    As you can see by my post above the screws retaining the bottom panels of the G50 are color coded and each color represents a screw size.

    If I were you I would fill out a support ticket, and yes by all means explain your physical disability and the reason you need both a Disassembly Manual and a Parts Manual to repair your machine as you did here. You might get lucky. I do have a disassembly manual for a G62 but I'm not sure if they are actually the same family.
