    Well, one screw really but I'd be willing to buy the whole set. I've been opening up the notebook to take a look at the internals since this is my first gaming notebook. During my adventures, I managed to strip one of the screws. Specifically, the screw that is located in the corner of the black "speaker looking thing" that sits above the exhaust fan assembly. I believe it's marked with a "K."

    I've dispatched an email to the Asus eStore but I'm not holding my breath. I'll probably end up calling but I thought I'd try posting a thread here in the meantime.

    So, besides the eStore, are there any other alternatives? I guess I can look toward McMaster or some other store if I knew what the sizes were but I'm cluesless. Please, any help and or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

    In the grand scheme of things one screw won't matter, especially since the screw you're describing is in the center and helf down by several nearby screws.

    After I shut down I'll take a measurement, but that'll be a while from now.

    Thanks Forge. I'm pretty careful about these things but when I felt the screw "bump" slightly when I tightened it, I knew I was in trouble. I'm not sure if I want to remove it now or not.

    I'd appreciate the info if you'd post it. I'm also searching fleabay for an extra set right now as well.
