[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1290171, member: 56379"] Thanks!:) You're right...the advantage of the pill boxes is they have lids.:) What I like about the paper method (although susceptible to bumps of the table or an accidental swipe of a person's arm or hand)...is when I divide the paper up into "boxes" (usually 6-8 boxes/page with a marker) I number each box with the exact iFixit.com disassembly/assembly step #. When I place each screw on the paper (in each box)...I place the screw in the same position where it came from relative to the position on the laptop. For example if the screw came from the upper right corner of the laptop bottom...then I place the screw in the upper right corner in the box on the paper. If it came from the lower left corner, then I place it in the lower left corner of the box on the paper...etc. The older iBooks & Powerbook G3's & G4's sometimes have 8-10 screws that need to be removed before the logic board can be removed (maybe the same with newer laptops)...and they can be of different lengths & diameters. So because of this I like the paper method (then there's no confusion where the screws came from if they're all positioned carefully on the paper (and the number on the paper corresponds to the exact iFixit.com procedure step. Otherwise I do prefer to use the pill box or egg carton method...since there's a lot less chance of the screws getting mixed up, or knocked & lost on the floor or into the carpet.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
