I actually draw a small outline on a piece of paper of the components I'm unscrewing and tape the screws to the correct spots. :-)

- shabble 15y agoI've been bitten by that scheme after I'd carefully disassembled my laptop, putting all the screws on a neatly labelled sheet of paper, only to later attempt to blow out some dust, and have them scatter across the desk and floor. Double-sided tape, or actual compartments, sound like a much better idea.
