Screws?

[lilfem]

Hi ... now this may seem like a really odd question but does anyone know where I can get some screws, small enough to put in my laptop.. i'll explain what happened...

I have a fujitsu siemens laptop that doesn't hold charge at all so I keep it plugged in all the time, if I take the plug out and put it back in after a while it will switch off and take me ages to switch it back on. So I took it apart a few times to have a look (I do kno a bit about building computers) anyway over time I have mislayed the screws ... and I really need them to fix it together properly. The DVD drive keeps falling out, so when I open the tray the whole thing comes out!!! Its a crazy laptop... I had to get a new one but would still like to get it working again...

I have tried Maplins/novatech/pcworld/other local pc shops...

Any suggestions would be great!!
Thanks
Sam

Got any repair shops in your area that handle desktop and laptop PCs?

Can I just say I didn't choose a fijitsu laptop .... I had a toshiba, the screen went so I took it back to PC World and they took over 6 weeks to fix it, after the 6 week period you get a new one... so I had to go for the fujitsu!!

lol... I went to put a cd in and the whole thing came out in my hand instead of the draw!!!

Jewellers... What a good idea!!! I'll give that a go...

Thank you

Well I went into a couple and when I asked they looked at me as if I were mad... but then again they were more sales than repairs. There is one I might try tomorrow...

Most laptops ive worked on have quick release mechanisms for dvd rom drives etc
