    I have a strange, annoying problem with my Vaio. On the bottom, rear part of the casing, there are 2 larger screws toward the back corners that seem to be giving me problems. They have occasionally came out on their own and I've simply screwed them back in. A few months ago, one of them (larger screw near the battery charger port) came out and when I screw it back in, it appears the screw hole is stripped. Now, when I close the screen down, it doesn't want to latch. Also, the screen is a little wobbly. I've been looking everywhere online trying to find a part I could buy to fix this problem. Anyone have any ideas??? I need to replace that particular screw hole somehow and replace the screws in the back as well. When I've called Sony, they said they don't have replacement screws to send me. :mad:
