What is a 'bolded' out screw? I've never heard this term before.?

I've never heard the term either.  My dad's a mechanic, and I've heard plenty about screws, and threads, and nuts and bolts and rivets...all types of fasteners.\n\nWhat does it matter if something was taken apart?  That's what screws are for--so you can unscrew it and screw it back together.  Unless something got messed up inside by opening it, I don't see what the big deal is.  If it wasn't supposed to be unscrewed, then the manufacturer should have glued it together or put in rivets or something instead of screws.\n\nNow, if the threads on the screws were messed up, or if it had the wrong kind of screws in the holes, it might be bad, but unless the hole the screws went into was messed up, just get the right screws and put them in the holes.  There's something called "thread-lock" which basically glues a screw in place--it flows around the screw and then the screw is stuck in the hole.  \n\nI don't get the problem.  The person should be more specific about the damage, and use standard terms any mechanic (or mechanic's daughter) would use.  If I don't recognize the term, I'm not saying it doesn't exist (I admit, there are a few words I don't know!) but it could just be a scam where somebody's trying to return it or get a refund for a "problem" that doesn't exist.

You can also try Olander.  \n\nhttp://www.olander.com\n\nWhere ever you decide, you'll probably have to buy $5 - $10 worth.  They don't sell screws individually.  \n\nMcMaster-Carr is also very good.\n\nEDIT: I know olander's site is tough to navigate and the descriptions aren't so good.  Calling is a lot easier sometimes.  \n\nI took a look and found a stainless steel screw there that might be what you're looking for: 3F37PFMS.  \n\nYou should call them to see if this is the right one though.

An electric screwdriver or drill with an adjustable torque limit has worked well for me in similar situations. The screw tends to go in straighter than by hand and the torque limit prevents stripping out the plastic hole.\n\nWK

The only way to get rid of fasteners is to design out the need for them.\n\nI have seen what use to require a screw, washer, 2nd washer and a nut changed to a snap in or a locking tab in place of the fastener.\nWhat is critical is the purpose of the fastener, does someone need to undo the fastener for service, is the expected life of the product such that no service is required.\nAnswering these questions and fasteners can be on the way out.

It's actually a slang phrase...which I think means something is so nice and new and different  that its literally right off the store shelf. (It started in reference to clothing, with the hanger being the hook)

it's called an umlaut, this website offers instructions on how to use it.\n\nhttp://desktoppub.about.com/cs/finetypography/ht/umlaut.htm

the "L" indicates a twist-lock recptacle that prevents the cord from being kicked out. MIKE

I have a bad habit of breaking bolts.  I overtightened a bolt on my motorcycle's clutch basket and broke it.  I really didn't want to deal with extracting a steel bolt from an aluminum basket, so I just left it sitting for awhile.  One night I had a dream that I went out and poked at the bolt and it just screwed right out.  It wasn't frozen at all.  The next day I went out and checked, and, sure enough, I was able to use my fingers to unscrew the bolt.  I thought that was pretty cool.

a Screw usually has threading, a Bolt usually doesn't. Actually, a Screw is shorter than a bolt.

The symbol _ is called the underscore. You can type it by the combination Shift and - key.

There is a font called Helvetica and it is a very standard font, in fact it is so standard the w3 (the guys and gals who set standards for the internet) use it as their secondary standard font only preceeded by arial. What I'm guessing is happening with your PC is you are using some publishing or fancy word processing program? In some of these programs they graphically design fonts and will rename them whatever they feel like rather than using a bold/italic/underline/font size button to make these changes. So I would guess (from the naming conventions you listed) that helvetica black is standard helvetica. The best thing to do would be to type out some text in that font and probably "helvetica light" as well and go into a program like MS word and type out some text in helvetica and compare the two. The only other thing that I would guess from the nameing conventions you listed that "helevetica black" might be would be a bold helvetica.\nHope that helps.

Screws-the threads on the screw have more "bite" into the objects you are holding together.  Nails can pull away or come out completely.

I wouldn't drill out the screw.  If you drill it out you could drill right into your motherboard if you aren't careful and that wouldn't be good.  Also, you risk the chance of messing up the threads on the computer if you use too big of a drill bit.  There are some bits that you can find at your local hardware store to remove damaged screws.  The hardest part will be finding one for as small of a screw as you are trying to remove.  Go to Lowe's or Home Depot and see if they have any screw removal tips for a battery powered drill or screw driver.  If you can't find anything, then as a last resort you could drill it out.  Just be careful and don't use too big of a drill bit or drill in too far.  You might want wrap tape around the drill bit at a certain point so you know how far you've gone in if you attempt that method.

I've seen this for years .. since my BBS days, but I never knew that it actually had a name!\n\nquoting,\n=================\nStudlyCaps http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StudlyCaps\n\nStudlyCaps (or perhaps StUdLyCaPs, also known as StickyCaps) is a variation of CamelCase in which the individual letters in a word (or words) are capitalized and not capitalized, either at random or in some pattern.\n\nAccording to the Jargon File, "ThE oRigiN and SigNificaNce of thIs pRacTicE iS oBscuRe." It appears to have been popularized among adolescent users during the BBS and early WWW eras of online culture, as a form of rebellion against the rules for proper capitalization of names and sentences. Unlike the use of all lowercase letters, which suggests laziness or efficiency as a motivation, StudlyCaps requires additional effort to type, either holding and releasing the Shift key with one hand while hunting-and-pecking, or alternately pressing one Shift key or the other while touch typing. The iNiQUITY bbs software based on renegade had a feature to support this automatically.\n\nIt may perform a similar social function as the reduced legibility of the highly stylised script commonly used in graffiti. The overt defiance of rules distinguishes it from most forms of CamelCase which, despite their defiance of traditional typographic rules for language, are noteworthy for their adherence to authority-established standards specifying which letters are to be capitalized and which are not.\n=============
