    Hey,

    I disassembled my laptop, however, I realized I do not have screws to mount the msata drive. I've assembled it back, but I read somewhere that screws should be there... maybe I missed them.

    Well, the question is: were the screws for mounting the msata drive added to the X220i? Or do I have to acquire them myself - and if so, what size/type I should buy?

    There are one screw (silver) and one tiny plastic dome in the mSATA slot. Undo the screw. Insert the mSATA SSD. One hole fits into the dome. The other hole aligns with the hole of the screw. Redo the screw.

    One screw. Singular.

    Really, truly, absolutely no screw? Reuse one screw (out of four) taken from the main bay.

    Most mSATA SSD's come with screws anyway.

    You say yes, I say no. You say stop and I say go go go, oh no. You say goodbye and I say hello Hello hello I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello Hello hello I don't know why you say...
