Broken screw in adapter mount/bolt of video card
I've ran into a small problem. I have an ATI All-In-Wonder 2006 Edition (256meg, dual-output, yadda yadda) and have just recently moved. Upon putting everything back together, when I was screwing the adapter back into the card on the back of the computer, the two screws broke off in the female bolt. The bolt thing looks identical to a motherboard mount. Female port on the top, the bottom is a screw which screws into the back of the card.
I ordered a replacement adapter, but I just figured out they do not send the fasteners/bolt/whatever with it because that is "part of the video card, and I must RMA the whole card." Ugh, I don't feel like doing that, it will take too long, and I need the computer back asap. I overnighted the adapter, but now I need to figure out how to get the damn screw out. Its broken on plush with the outer edge, and its a flat break. Lukily the things screw out of the card, but I have no idea how to get the screw out, nor do I know what size it is - Its just a little smaller than a standard motherboard mounting bolt/screw.
Any ideas on how to get the screw out, or how to tell what size it is/get two new ones?
Thanks guys.
