my original 1TB Western Digital Scorpio Blue internal crashed, so I replaced it with a new one.. BUT the new one doesn't have the 4 small mounting screws on the side that mount it to the plastic brackets of my 15'' Macbook Pro. (if you are not sure of which screws I'm talking about look at the "IMPORTANT" part of step 6 on these instructions:MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2009) How to install a replacement hard drive.) Do you know a place online where I can buy these type of screws? Is it too dangerous to put the drive without the screws? Thank you in advance! |

MacBook Pro 17" Screw Set - iFixit ETA: what happened to the screws that were in your original hard disk? Most people just remove those and install them on the new drive. "Those who don't understand Unix are condemned to reinvent it, poorly." – Henry Spencer

Thanks for the link XJ but on the description of the product it states "all screws except those from hard drive".. so I doubt that they are included... |
