    Hey, brilliant genius over here stripped a screw. Does anyone know where I can pick up hex screws for a western digital hdd? It was in a myBook enclosure.

    Thanks,
    TT

    You can probably find some at Home Depot, Radio Shack, or even Ace Hardware. Most likely you'll find one somewhere from that list!

    take your stripped screw to a hardware store and tell them you want a titanium hex key version of the screw

    it shouldnt cost you anymore than $5 for a pack
