I just received my repaired lenses back from TheForce81 (thanks!) and I, somehow, stripped a screw that attaches the lens to the case. This also happens to be the screw that grounds the lens. I can’t screw it in anymore, but I believe I should be able to get it out with pliers. I have two questions.

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement screw?

Also, in the meantime (or forever, perhaps), can I just use electrical tape to hold down the ground to the lens?

I tried it with the ground attached best I could with the tape, and it seems to work just fine, however, I am concerned with future problems. Can anyone help?

No problem :P!
You can use tape without complications, but try and get a new screw. What I would do is take out the screw with pliers and replace it with the second screw of the lens. Happy VBing!! 😛

That’s exactly what I was going to do. Thanks again! It works great.

Very glad to hear it works great, always nice to know another VB has been recovered permanently screen wise!

Lens screw?

You must mean the PCB with the LEDs? The one currently pictured in Force81’s avatar? 😉

As it’s a philips screw I guess you have stripped it so that a philips screw driver won’t get a grip? (How did you manage to do that? )
I would get a new one from my box of various little screws or bring it to the hardware store and ask for a similar one – or make a trace with a dremel tool (or similar tool) in the head so you can screw it in with a plain screw driver.
