Mystery Bonus Item Discovered When I De-Dusted My Laptop Earlier - Any Ideas?

Posted 19th Mar 2023
I give my laptop a clean out every few months to de-dust the fans (gently) and just general cleaning.

Put the back cover back on and a "piece" of broken plastic (with what looks like a copper-coloured screw hole) fell onto my lap. Hard to tell where it's come from. Anyone have any guesses?

    That sounds like the culprit...thank you. One screw refused to go in and that must be why. Glad it's not anything serious.

    Thank you for the speedy reply! It would've bugged me otherwise.

    I have the same screwdriver set. A mighty fine one it is too

    Mine is the ifixit Chinese knockoff I did mention it on HUKD but can't remember where.

    No longer on Amazon, but I'm pretty sure there are clones on Aliexpress.49800606-ezOhY.jpg
