    I just came back from university today and was taking the laptop out of my bag when I noticed over the course of the day I somehow lost two screws from the T61 chassis. An immediate result is that the panel right next to the optical bay is loose and falls off very easily.
    So I was wondering, where can I get replacement screws for this? Do I have to bring this into an authorized retailer and have them "fix" it for me or can I just be mailed replacement screws for a price/free?

    Thanks

    Umm... just call IBM/Lenovo directly. If it's under warranty they'll send you out a pack of the screws. I had to order the drive door cover for a T-60 once, and if memory serves me right the FRU pack comes with a number of screws and other doo-dads.

    didn't think this was covered under warranty. Apparently it is. They're mailing me a replacement screw kit :)
    thx!

    Go to eaby and search for T60 scews.
    They are the same.
    Or go to website such as sparepartswarehouse.com and enter the FRU# of screws which coubd be found in the maintain manual.
