Need to buy a screw for my Macbook

silvine · 2011-10-02 21:50:55

The back of my Macbook Unibody 2009 is missing a screw. Does anyone here know where I can buy a replacement? I found a set on eBay but it's over EUR20 and I only need one screw, not the full set.

What's the head type, thread type, length, diameter and finish?

I think it's a 3mm screw with a steel finish.

I saw a set on eBay but by the time I import it it will be over EUR20 for the one screw that I need.

At the moment mac are replacing the bottom of those macbooks for free, when i got mine it came with 6 new screws for the bottom and a screwdriver. If you ring apple they might send out new screws for free.
