    I just noticed on my X40 that a screw had fallen off on the bottom. Any idea where I can find screws from? Thanks.

    Are you sure it's not the drainage holes? I too need some screws for my T60, after upgrade the rams and opening the screws quite a few times I think I need to replace them. On IBM's support website, they explain that the screws are disposable and to be used once only. I've used them maybe 4 times, but now I feel I need to replace them.

    You can try buying a Tp X40 screw kit.
    google it or search for 13N5323(part #)

    The kit contains:
    One of those should be the right one but it probably wont be worth buying it for one screw.

    Or go to the local hobby shop, and see if they have any screws that will work... Especially screws for the mini rc's like RC18's and mini-t's...

    Thanks guys. I actually got the screws from a local store that stocks all sorts of screws. I got the perfect size and fits perfectly. I will also look into the X40 screw kit. Thanks again.
