While replacing the optical drive in my MacBook Pro I dropped and lost one of the 3.3 mm silver screws that holds the drive in place. Without it the drive is out of alignment and won't accept disks. If I open the case and hold the bracket down in that spot, it works just fine, so the drive is OK. But where can I find a replacement for that screw?
Thanks,
Ralph Dosser

If so you can't leave it as it can short the underside of the board.
Have you used a magnet to search around the area you dropped the screw?
You could try a drop of superglue; remembering to dissolve it if you have to remove the drive later.
Any hobby stores near you?
Good Luck,

No, it definitely flew away from the work area. I did search with my sweeping magnet, but no luck.
I thought about superglue, but was worried about having to remove it later. Your point about solvent is a good one.
We do have a hobby store - good tip, I'll pay them a visit.
Thanks,

I am having a difficult time finding a screw for the bottom of my Mac. One of the main screws on the bottom has somehow come loose and Mac will not replace these.
