    I've acquired a macbook pro secondhand. Problem is its missing four of the tiny philips screws that screw in from the sides and hold the top deck/keyboard assembly on. Anyone know where I can get these. Mactivate say they would have to order from Apple at 50 euro plus VAT !

    Nasty! Sorry I dont know of anywhere in Dublin, have you tried just going in to your nearest Maplin and having a look for the right size?

    Enjoy your new MBP though :)

    Any specialist screw "dealer" should be able to help you.
    Get your hands on a copy of the MBP technical manual for the specs.

    Sorry! It could have been so much worse though ;)

    There goes my suggestion so . . . .

    You'd have to ask though, who'd buy a laptop with a load of screws missing . . .
