The Hard Drive cover got cracked on my T-30 and it caused me to also somehow lose the HDD retaining screw that goes through the plastic cover. I called IBM about it and they sent me a HDD cover as well as a memory slot cover (which I don't need). However, even though I specified that I needed the HDD cover screw it did not come with the other parts.
Does anyone have a HDD cover screw (it holds the HDD in place inside the Thinkpad, through the plastic cover) for the T-30? If so, I'd be glad to pay someone for it, or trade them the screw for the RAM Memory Cover (black rectangluar piece).
I know that I probably should put this in the For Sale/Trade section, but more people are apt to see this here.
Thanks in advance for any response on this matter.

They should have sent you the screw kit, part number 46L6594. If you call and request that, it should come with not only the HDD screw, but every other screw for your system. They won't send out an individual screw because the cost of stocking each thing individually is much greater than the cost of sending you 30 screws when you need one.
The nice thing is, since they say you should only use the screws once because of the nylon coating, you now have a bunch of spares!
