Talking Help! I have a screw loose!

Seriously, the little screw that holds the 2 halves of my 1LS master key transmitter together has loosened and fallen out. I need a replacement screw.

These things are tiny. I tried a couple from an eyeglass repair kit but they were too small. If I'm not careful, the key separates on me and the battery falls out (lost one already)!

Any suggestions on a source?

Or you could try and source one at a computer repair shop...I work on laptops and some of those damned screws are that small...

Use tape or super glue.

Title of this thread just leaves waaayyyy tooo much open for punishment. LOL!!! Check with the dealer. They may have a screw for you or just give you one from a spare remote that is lying around.

I think typical eye glass screws are 0-92.
0-80 may still be small and the next step would be a metric 1.6mm.
