Almost everything I've disassembled and reassembled resulted in an extra screw.

After a bath in tea, I imagine a missing screw is no problem.

Nothing wrong with an extra screw.

Yes manufacturers always pack a spare somewhere in the product.
Why you might ask

To mess with the consumers head ofcourse.

They send it back for "fixing "

Oh what a laugh

Only one? Not bad! I think most things are over-engineered to not need all of them anyways. My friend and I did an engine swap and had quite a few extras left over, but the next day the car drove flawless on our roadtrip and back haha

They ripped you off by installing it and making you pay - just to justify the employment of extra people all the way back in the supply chain. Over a ew million laptops it probably does manage to employ the equivalent of one extra person.


Just think, you were subsidising paying a person who was 'hidden unemployed'.

Is it the computer, Dave, or the operator?

Bert has one screw too many, and Dave is missing an R so he won’t be getting one.

I have built every desktop computer I have from scratch, then installed the operating system and software.
