Two tiny screws are missing from my Tungsten T3 PDA. I just noticed last week that they were absent. I’ve not done anything weird with my PDA, so I have no idea how they could have fallen out.
I need to replace them, because otherwise eventually it will fall to pieces. Out of interest I google for “tiny screws palm” just to see if anyone is selling specific replacements. And what do I discover? This is a really Common Problem.
So I’ve spent $5 on some replacements. I feel a but dumb spending five bucks on four tiny screws but not as dumb as the guy I bought them from:
-
In order to make these screws available to you, I had to purchase a significant quantity - okay, I bought 5,000 of them. Really. I will need to sell at least a few hundred orders before I turn a net profit. Whatever you do, don’t let my wife find out.
I hope that all palmOne Tungsten T, T2, & T3 owners will continue to support my efforts to make these screws available at a time when palmOne was shrugging their collective shoulders and suggesting that you should pay a $125 repair or exchange fee as their only solution to the missing screw problem. Hopefully, I will eventually recover my costs and turn a small profit but I suspect that some time in the distant future when I am long gone, my as yet unborn grandchildren will be putzing around in my basement when one of them will yelp and say, “Wow, look at all of these tiny screws! What was grandpa going to do with them?”
