Camera Screws

[0836whimper]

I have a Sony DSC-P120 P&S camera that has lost several of the tiny electrical-type screws that hold the body together.

Anyone know where I can pick up some replacement screws that doesn't involve sending it to Sony at a considerable cost (it's not worth it). Ta.

Jeweller?

Try taking the measurements and fitting type (flat, philips, hex etc) from another screw and Google it. Worked for me for a tiny sunroof screw I thought would never be available. You might need to ask a jeweller to measure it for you to get accurate dimensions.

Be careful, the screws may not all be the same size, if you try a screw thats too long it might go in too far and damage something.

Result. A jeweller coudln't help, but a high street opticians had a big tray full of different size screws, put them in for me for free.

Nice one, glad to hear you did'nt break it.

I took the top off a Pentax ME Super once, the PCB was soooooo close to
where the screws ended, if i put a 2mm longer screw in, it would have done some damage, that's why i posted

Blimey. Nice of them to do it for free! Who was it? I'd give someone like that my business given the choice.
