Hi,
I need M2.5 x 16mm screws for the Thinkpad T30.
I have found them on ebay.com but the seller is not willing to ship abroad. He doesn't even respond to my queries.

Could anybody help me please?
Best regards,
singbad

Looks like these are more expensive, have a slotted head (as opposed to the Torx ones you referenced), but at least he ships to Germany:

Are there no hobby shops in your local area?

Thank you Ray, but I've never seen a slotted-head screw in a computer, not even in Germany
It's not for the look, the slotted cylinder head is simply too high.
Meanwhile a member of this forum has ordered the screws from the above mentioned Ebay seller for me. So I can close this thread now.
Thanks to all,
singbad

For what its worth - I've had good luck finding replacement screws and small bolts from a hobby shop. Many of the small metric items are used in RC cars and also trains. The DuBro company has metrics aplenty.
