WTB: Thinkpad "Screw 3A" for Thinkpad T43 bezel

#1 Post by borez » Wed Jan 07, 2009 3:43 am

Would like to get a Thinkpad Special Screw "3A" for the bezel of a Thinkpad T43.

I accidentally placed the screw into the wrong hole, and had stripped it (so hopefully this would serve as a word of caution to check your screw placements before you put them in!)

As I'm based in Asia at the moment, am willing to pay for the shipping too. Am paypal verified.

Thanks.

Any 14mm screw will work. The screw 3a has short threads so it cannot be overtightened and crush the drive cage. If you use a fully-threaded screw, just get it snug.

Hi,

Thanks. Could you elaborate more on the specs?
What would be the 14mm for, and any idea on the screw thread specs too?

Would be attempting to find this at a hardware store, so would need some form of specs to go along.

Thanks!
