Hi all,

Could anybody tell me the exact size of the contrast screw?
Is it the same size as the back housing screws?

Thanks!

Its not a conventional screw where you righty tighty or lefty loosey it with brawn. Its really a delicate plastic screw and you can damage it if not careful attempting to replace it.

Be gentle when trying on screws.

To me it looks like the same screw that holds the back panel in place.

A potieometer screw is what you need. I believe they're universal in size though I heard reports of some being slightly larger that one had to shave the battery compartment to make it fit perfect.

Might wanna ask the folks at http://mpcstuff.com which part number is it to be sure or they might sell one to you if available.
