    Hello,

    I recently picked up an aspire one zg5 that suffered an unfortunate mishap. This in itself is not a problem, i've located much of what I need to repair it. The thing I'm having a hard time with though are replacement screws, as it seems whoever broke this thing also tried to take it apart, leaving 12 screws missing :(.

    I found this website that has screws of various sizes, I'm just hoping someone could help me confirm which sizes I need to get.

    http://www.trianglelaptops.com/c-43-screws.aspx

    Here's what I'm missing:
    -6 LCD bezel screws
    -3 screws for the front of the base that secure the palmrest/bezel
    -3 screws for the I/O board (usb, audio, card reader) located on the right side of the machine above the HDD

    I'm thinking the LCD screws should be M2.5x3, the palmrest/bezel either M2.5x5 or M2.5x6, and the I/O board either M2.5x3 or M2.5x5

    Thoughts?

    About a week ago I bought myself a complete set of replacement screws for my D250 from a seller on eBay. They're coming from the states (I'm in Australia) but they only cost me $11AUD including postage from the states. It might be worth buying the whole set just so you know you have some spares lying around.
