The M3x8mm truss head screws arrived today. They work great and would recommend them as a replacement if you can’t find the flanged screws.
I had not checked out ACE hardware. Lowes had a metric screw section the last time I was there. With the COVID crap, I have been doing mostly online shopping. Still left to do in my M100 restoration project: 1. Replace the rubber feet on the bottoms of both 2. Retrobright the cases 3. Find some sort of replacement RAM modules 4. Find replacement power adapters But for now, everything is working on both and it is time to start playing with and learning the M100. Scott M.

They are not the flanged button head screws like the original, but the only sources for those I have managed to find are in China (or ridiculously priced and still probably coming from China). Regular pan heads will not work unless you use a washer. They may tighten down, but you risk cracking the case. You need the wider head. These are 7mm across. The original flanged heads are 7.5mm These should work for the case and most of the screws on the inside as well. Just thought I would pass this along. Scott M.
