Missing two screw parts from z61t

[phylox]

Hello,

I'm looking to see if anyone knows where I can get two screws from the z61t 9440-cto thinkpad lenovo. It would be specifically the one under the cd drive and the one right next to the battery.

Appreciate it.

Thanks.

My machine has 4 screws that could be considered “right next to the battery”. Which screw are you referencing? I assume the CD screw is probably the security screw.

All of these should be available at any good hardware store. You could determine the specs from the Hardware Maintenance Manual : http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... MIGR-64203

Welcome to the forum!

The one for the optical drive generally is not used since it locks in the drive and prevents hot swapping or quick removal. The drive is secure without the screw. That screw never comes installed in ThinkPads but is included with the documentation and spare track point caps. I've never installed one (or even seen one installed!)

Regarding the other screw, I have both a Z61t and a box of spare screws for many ThinkPads. If you take a picture of the bottom of your machine and post the link, I will send you the screw you need (I will use my machine as a reference to get you the right length).
