Carmine,

You are THE MAN!!!

I've been looking into too many forums for the right screws on my T3. These are just the thing.

To Everyone: Carmine's service is great, got quick turn around fm order date to delivery & free shipping !!!

I was working OK with just two screws, one on the top of each side. I placed my order & it came just in time. I lost a 3rd screw & had to use adhesive tape to keep things together. I was getting unusual error msgs & functionality due to the screen not reacting properly to input b/c it wasn't properly seated due to lack of screws. I even got 'white screen of death W/logo showing' & then black. Fortunately, after letting the battery go down I got things back to 'booting' properly & put the new screws securely in place & I'm back to normal; at least in terms of using my T3! ;-) .

I don't know which is a bigger thing: that Palm is SOOOO un-cooperative on the screw issue, or that someone finally got an exact match for the screws & is selling them at reasonable prices. Others tried to sell stuff that they admitted didn't fit, pictures included w/screw heads sticking out of the unit!?!; and they wanted $2 per screw PLUS shipping.

Everyone should support Carmine's efforts while saving their Tungsten machines! I bought a 2nd batch just in case.

Great product, price, service.
I decided my spouse was worth it, so I sprung for the gold plated screws for her T2.
I'd also add that a $2 tube of LockTite (blue glue that emulates a lock-washer) is highly advised.

I ordered them...worked like a charm

Arrived two days later. I might order another pack of 4 as backup.
