Two of the tiny screws have fallen out of my T3. Where can I get
replacements? I live in the UK.

My inclination would be take out one more and bring it to a hardware store.
See if they can match it.

However, the very first result of a Google search is this:

"Palm Tungsten T, T2, & T3 Replacement Screw Set"

You couldn't do a search for "tungsten t3 screws"?

I did do a search for Tungsten T3 screws on Google before writing on the
newsgroup. In the UK they seem to be difficult to find. There are also
screws which are sold as Tungsten screws which are not quite correct. I also
wanted to know whether they would be obtainable via palm and whether anyone
had any knowledge of it.
I have participated in the Palm newsgroups for years and, in general, people
have given helpful advice without being condescending. I suggest you do the
same.

You concealed your e-mail address, which also made it impossible to tell
what country you were posting from.

I suppose I might have noticed the crosspost (as I just did) but
crossposting is quite rare these days.

While we are being condescending, you might have noticed the statement "I
live in the UK" in the original post.

Now, to answer the OP's question, the result you should get from Google is
http://www.infosystemspro.com/pdaparts.htm , a site run by Carmine
Castiglia in the US.
I live in the UK too, but I ordered the screws from Carmine and they were
here within a week and the price was not unreasonable.

Notice that I didn't deny this.

Many thanks. I'll follow your advice and order some.

Carmine Castiglia is the epitomy of a gentleman. He will foreward to you a
set of screws and a very nice letter expressing a remarkable level of care
for his customers.
