Note to self: Don't take the bait, no matter how tempting it is!

Apple Store will usually just give you any small, non-electronic part for free. Just ask them for what you need.

Just make sure to get the right ones.

Replacing RAM is a user-serviceable part and does not void the Apple Warranty or the AppleCare Protection Plan, unless you damage something in the process.

You've already been screwed by Apple.

You dont need to bring the computer with you or tell them who you are. Just pop by the genius bar abd say "I need this screw". They've given me keys and screws in the past. Don't pay some insane price for a part until you've been turned down by a free source.

Wow, they just hand out free screws? Cool.

Occasionally, screws do fall out in transit. Occasionally (depending on the store) they're pretty helpful. Sometimes, the Store will want to examine your machine just to confirm it's not been tampered with... So, provided the OP doesn't mind.. Then it should be fine!

Opening your Mac doesn't technically void the warranty. Usually the warranty is voided if you break a sticker (iMac), break some hardware, spill liquids on the machine, drop it or run it over!!

or run it over!!

You'd think such things would be nearly impossible, but my sister somehow managed to drive over her cellphone. I can't imagine how.
