    Hey lads,
    I was wondering does anybody here know where i can find
    M2.5 × 8 mm, flat-head, nylon-coated screws

    I have a lenovo g505s laptop and 3 screws out of the back of it have gone
    I found them on eBay but there like 15 quid p&p . Does anybody know anywhere in Dublin.

    Checked online on maplins and rs electonics ,but nothing. maybe its the way im searching though

    I just looked through my laptop parts there and haven't got a Lenovo laptop but I have loads of T8 M2.5 XL6 screws and some others that I will check. I'll look at the other laptops for a comparison.

    Ah but cork prices make it a 2c screw. Totally worth the drive for savings!
