replacement screws for acer aspire 5742z-4685

patrickscott

Greetings,

I am working on my Acer Aspire 5742z-4685. It does not have the hard drive screws and the back panel (that covers the hard drive and network card) screws. How can I determine:

(1) what screws are needed, and

(2) where I can buy them.

(3) Additionally, is there anywhere I can get an exploded view of Acer Aspire 5742z-4685?

 

Thanks,

 

Pat

The hard drive screws (HDD bracket):

86.R4F02.005 - SCREW.3.0D.3.0L.K.4.9D.NI (Screw M3x3 - Qty:4)

Thank you so much for your prompt and detailed reply.

 

How did you know what sizes they were? Is there any way I can access that information?

 

Thanks again.

Laurent 14,

In my rush to post my request, I forgot to state that it is the screws I am missing for my back panel, not the panel itself! SORRY!!

I was able to find the back panel screw sizes by downloading the Acer service manual from manualslib -- Please note: I know nothing about this site, was able to download the file using NOT using their downloader -- As far as I can tell, I downloaded a pdf only, no viruses, malware, etc --

 

I have requested a quote from Acer for the needed screws.

 

A BIG thanks for your help.
