Replaced my RAM in the 13 in MBP and in doing so lost two of the tiny short screws. They fell on the floor and we have searched. Got any ideas where you can find this tiny screw for sale or maybe what number it is?
Got a tip for us?

No, you are SCREWED! JK .. Are they these by any chance: http://www.powerbookmedic.com/xcart1/product.php?productid=17452
My Powerbook (2005ish I think) has had screws falling out of it for years. I've never unscrewed them, they've just somehow unscrewed themselves. My machine's still working fine...
One of those might work, although they should be silver.
Can anyone confirm if the Unibody 15in MBP uses the same screws as the 13in MBP because they have the bottom case screws for that:

MBP Screws
I put the 8 I have in a balanced position. Also I have the orange MBP case from the Apple Store. I have a difficult time ordering a set of screws for $29 that I don't know will work.
Thanks for the answers.

You could try the "vacuum with a legging over the tip" trick. I'll stop all the big pieces from getting sucked up.
Oh and heres a good future tip whenever working with tiny screws like this. First have a large white towel covering your work space, it will keep screws from bouncing to the floor and it provides good contrast. Also work on light colored floors, and stay away from thick carpet (of course). The problem with working on carpet is it is easy to kick the screw and not know it because you can't hear it like on hard flooring.
