This guide has been very helpful but I have a problem with missing screws 3 have fallen out now. and I see the guide doesn't list any parts so where could I go to find the screws?

Same issue (on a Lenovo ChromeBook Flex 5 ‎82B80006UX). I'm guessing a M2 or M2.5 x 5mm & 8mm. I'm ordering some assorted screws & I'll post if any seem to really hit the size.

Hi. Why do some laptops have some kind of a sheet of paper blocking some part of their bottom vents, leaving a hole only for the fan intake? Is it safe to remove the paper?
