I need two screws for a clamshell iBook motherboard (to fix a "repair" job that has gone wrong).

Since I've so far not been able to purchase these screws anywhere, I'm willing to buy a broken clamshell ibook for salvaging.

Even better would be, of course, if somebody would be able to get me just the screws I need (I could provide a detailed description, incl. photos of which screws I'm looking for, but you'd have to pretty much disassemble the whole iBook in order to get to them...)

Please reply to pierswalter@mac.com

Have you tried www.pbparts.com ? They have a large selection of random powerbook and ibook parts available. Good luck.

And even it they don't have it listed on their website, you can e-mail them with the description of the screws and they could probably scrape them up from somewhere.

as suggested by malson and x user, I have contacted www.pbparts.com on Jan 2.

I sent them a description of what I needed, got a positive reply shortly afterwards, and a Fedex delivery on Jan 3. This speed is even more surprising, given that they are operating with a reduced staff until Jan 8.

The whole shopping experience has been very pleasant, and the broken iBook is fixed again.

I can wholeheartedly recommend www.pbparts.com to anybody who might find this thread because of a similar problem.
