    grrrr this forum needs to get fixed....glad i learned to start copy pasting everything before i hit submit


    I need new screws for the gpu and cpu of the G51j-a1 because they are just starting to strip and i doubt i can get another use out of them. Does anyone have extras or know where i can find them...they seem kinda random size.

    They're probably M2 screws, just measure the length.

    its the cpu screw and gpu screws. I try to get them as tight as possible for best cooling. you want 50 PSI and trying to get that with little screws is hard. I have a screw driver that is perfect size.

    those look like the case screws. The cpu/gpu ones are silver and much smaller

    EDIT: they aren't stripped yet just going

    The link i gave you is a screw set (every screw for that laptop). You would have a lot left over but how are you going to argue over $6.50 shipped?

    You can always ask the seller though if they come out of the heatsink itself then they're usually included in the screw set.
