And where would one obtain new screws? I know for a fact that
IBM repair does not do this, because my previous Thinkpad, a T23, was
returned to them at least 7 times for repair in a year's time, and
some of the screws (due to my own repairs on the unit) had some very
distinctive scratches on the head. When the laptop was returned, those
same screws were reinserted by IBM repair. They definately opened the
case, because the repair involved replacing the internal PSU and CPU.
