lenovo's screws

Can I buy a bolt for the (housing) R61? If so, where?

Which size do you need?. The specific sizes are listed in the Hardware Maintenance manual. Once the size is known you can buy them individually in a good hardware store usually. Don't know if there are any 'good hardware stores' in your city in Poland.

I need M2x17 mm. I thought that is typical lenovo solutions. Ok, I search in hardware store. Thanks.

You can buy a complete R61 screw set on ebay for about $8. You'd have some extras in case you lost another. Buying one screw may not be much less expensive.

Thanks. BTW: I have new mobo (from T61) in my R61, should I update model numer or something? Now it is half T and R.

When you update the BIOS, there's an option in it to change the Type/Model.
Don't update from inside Windows, make a CD from the ISO file.

I aready made update BIOS from Windows. It works. But can I now change model numer?

You need the maintnence floppy disk which is propriatary software available only to Lenovo's registered business partners.

Ups... So I think it doesn't matter if I have R or T in my R61? So far everything works.
