    There were two Screws that came with the Notebook & others accessories.

    One should be a replacement screw.

    Is the other (short - hex) screw for the missing screw hole (copper looking threads)- Right-Rear of Laptop.

    You may want to contact Lenovo directly about that. I know that early shipments of the Compal HEL80 came with extra screws to help secure the keyboard, as the OEMs believed the keyboard to be a compression fit, but found at the last moment that they were actually traditional screw-secured assemblies.

    Security screws... they replace a couple of the screws with ones that are harder to remove (check the heads). One is for the hard drive bay, the other is for the optical drive.

    I still don't get it folks. I know that the shorter of the two extra screws that came with my T61 is to secure the ultrabay drive. What is the use of the longer screw? Please help!

    It should be the Hex screw which goes into the copper female threaded hole. I believe the other one is a replacement screw for the ones that releases the palm rest cover (where the memory modules bays are)
