My '14 MacBook Pro 15" has lost a screw. Anyone know of a source for screws? Driving 2 hours back and forth to the Apple Store seems to be a bit extreme.
Thanks in advance!
You don’t say which screws, but I noticed that iFixit sells a case-screw kit:
$20 for the screws or $25 with a screwdriver.
But you should probably navigate from their main laptop parts page to make sure the item you buy is the right one for your laptop.

Perfect, thanks!
It can also help keep the new screws from working their way loose again if you use blue threadlock on them. Sometimes replacement screws will already have this on them, but that’s not the same as putting it on yourself, since it works best when the liquid can form itself to all the microscopic nooks and crannies of the thread it’s meeting up with.

I did put a drop of clear fingernail polish over the screws after I tightened them the last time. This time I’ll use threadlock. I kinda doubt I’ll need to ever open this again, since it’s frankly living on borrowed time already. Mostly I keep it as the last 32-bit OS that can run the old version of MS Office that I have no plans to upgrade.
Just wanted to say I’ve bought tools and parts from iFixit many times without any problems. I think they are a good website and business to support.
