    Anyone got any bottom case screws for a CF-M34. Some "Ultimate" wannabe sold me one which is missing 4. It could use 10 as I don't think he read the Wiha screwdriver info on this forum. They are about 1.9(2?)mm x 9.4mm/.076" x .359", with two captive washers. If no one has any, is someone ordering from Heartlandsi in the near future as I don't want to pay crazy shipping. Thanks.
    Doh! Looked in service manual, K112 (XYN2+J8FZ)

    Stock is good. I paid the shipping from Heartland SI (more than the part) and it didn't come with screws. Not so good.

    I went to a local computer scrapper in a nearby town, and found the exact screws I needed (they're metric) and the guy wouldn't even charge me for them. I think they came out of a sony.

    Just so everyone knows... A lot of hobby stores stock the off-sized screws that we need. Most of the time they are hex-head type which can add to the coolness factor... Depending on where the screws show.

    Most of the screws are 2mm in various lengths. Some are 1mm (Very few) some are 1.5mm and some are 2.5mm.... The hobby shops usually stock all of these... And the prices are comparable or better than the .56 cents per screw, on average, that Heartland charges!

    TB, Thanks, I'm not sure we have any hobby shops around any more, the kids all spend their time staring at pixels of some sort. I was wondering, has any one counted up all those 2 cents of yours, enough to buy a UTB? They typically seem to be worth a lot more than 2 cents. :rolleyes:
