EDIT: Sony does not carry replacement screws or the caddy. but if you take one of the 4 screws to a home depot or any store that sells loose screws they may be able to match it, or see if any PC repair shops have any as they resemble the screws that hold PC hard drives and optical drives inside the PC towers. |
My dad made an extra key to garage a few days ago, and I found a needle nose plier. About 15 minutes of looking for that plier, and 1 hour to get the screws lose I finally finished
