    I have a dell inspiron 1525 and the little screws keep falling off. This means that my keyboard is now coming off. I was wondering if someone can tell me where I can go to buy the tiny screws so I can reattach my keyboard! Thanks.

    Try paint the screws with a drop of nailpolish (color optional).
    This should get them to hold. To remove them again, some acetone will remove the polish with no hassle.

    The big question is, why do they come off by themselves.
