T3 screw loose

[crackolette1]

I may write/e-mail PalmOne if necessary, but I thought I would try here first. Does anyone know if it is possible to get a replacement screw for my T3? I was out of town last weekend and in the airport, I noticed that one of the tiny philips head crews in the bottom side slider of my T3 was loose. I had no screwdrivers at the time, so I did hte best I could, but when I got home I noticed that it had come completely loose and is now missing. Any idea whether those are available from any place in particular?

I don't know what it is about the T2/T3 but the screws seem to fall out on a regular basis. You can buy new ones at http://www.infosystemspro.com/pdaparts_screwstore.htm . They even have gold plated screws although I don't know if you'd want to spend the extra money for things that seem to fall out so easily.

If you are still under the manufacturing warranty palmOne will ship the 4 replacement screw set else you can buy it from http://www.gethightech.com/Merchant2...tegory_Code=PC

Just as a hint. I had to buy two sets of screws before I remembered an old trick. Paint the screw threads (partially inserted) and the heads after inserted with clear (or actually any color, but clear is less conspicuous) nail polish. It has worked for months now and they havent even loosened. Obviously, they can be removed if needed.

I know these are relatively available on the internet. On Ebay I have seen even gold replacement screws...

Regular phillips head screw driver for these right?

Correct. A jewler's style small phillips head should work fine.
