Just curious if anyone has found a good source for different replacement screws for electronics. I know iFixit sells screws for some Macs, but I'm curious if anyone knows of any other sources for other brands.

MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Mid 2009: Missing hard drive sled/bracket and all screws?

Mon, 06 Dec 2010 14:51:40 -0700

Missing hard drive sled and screws. Machine arrived in this condition. I have seen this guide: MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Mid 2009 Hard Drive Replacement

I have looked on ebay for these items, and they look different then what is shown in this guide, also screws (torx and etc) also different in appearance for what is available on ebay.

Apple support at the store and the local mac upgrade store would not sell me the part(s) or even give me the part number! (against their rules). If anyone can give a clear part number or help me figure out where I can buy the stuff to secure the hard drive (i had to buy a new hard drive everything but SATA cable was missing when i got the machine) I would appreciate any advice, help etc. greatly. I installed the hard drive already just to get system installed, machine doesn't go anywhere anyway but i need this issue resolved.

MacBook Core 2 Duo: Must I buy MacBook Display Screw Set when replacing the LCD?

Sat, 26 Nov 2011 13:39:05 -0700

I want to replace the LCD panel. I use the guide from this site and buy the parts and the tools also here. And I really wonder if I could use the Display Screws that I remove during disassembly instead of buying a new set?

My MacBook is Core 2 Duo 2,16 A1181

I run a small iPhone repair business. It takes me 10-15 minutes to take the iPhone apart. but 35-45 MINUTES TO PUT IT BACK TOGETHER! The screws are so hard to work with!

What can I do to improve the speed of putting it back together?

I'll take any advice!

Thank you

iPhone 4S: iPhone 4s Screws losing 5-point pentalobe

Sat, 22 Sep 2012 23:55:24 -0700

i recently tried to replace my front glass panel and came to a major hault. i made the mistake of not buying your kit and instead bought a cheap screwdriver which resulted in one of the screws to lose its 5 point pentalobe turning it into a stripped screw head. i am now stuck with a screw i cannot remove in order to replace my front glass panel, is there any tool you would recommend beause ive searched but nothing seems to be thin or strong enough to grasp the screw.
