String comment = 'I am upgrading my laptop(lenovo y520) with an SSD so I don't have to use my dud of a HDD for running my OS.
However I have run into a difficulty. I do not have a screw to tighen the SSD to the motherboard.
What size does it require then?';

A tiny machine screw, bring it in to Ace Hardware and try screws until you find the right one.';
'They're called m.2 (m dot 2) screws. There are 4 different kinds (I've personally only ever seen the 2 popular ones) (your owners manual might say which but I doubt it, you'll probably have to ask lenovo if you need to know which kind specifically).
you can order a set containing all of them online for pennies.
The computer will run with it unscrewed, but if it bothers you then you can use a *small* piece of electrical tape to secure the ssd to the screwmount until your screws arrive';
