I have lost the tiny screw that holds down the m.2 card in my NUC I dropped it on the carpet and after 10 minutes crawling around trying to find it I was hoping someone on here might have one they could mail me.





Here is my Quic referral https://account.quic.nz/refer/39513 if you are keen to change ISP and to get free setup (save $29). I will get a $50 credit if you use this.  Thank you very much if you use my link but I'm sure there are quite a few others who could share the same on here, no hard feelings if you use a different link.

You could try trademe if you cannot find someone with one free.

Would it be magnetic?





Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

I do not believe it is magnetic but I do not know for sure.

In case it is magnetic, have you tried searching the carpet with a magnet?

You could try taking off your shoes and socks and walk around, if it has any sharp points you will find it immediately.

 

Get a really bright light and get down to a close angle and look for it that way.

 

Otherwise empty the dust collector on the vacuum and run it over the area, listen for the tell tale rattle of a screw bouncing up the tube.
