I bought screws at McMaster-Carr. Of course I usually found that I should have ordered a 1mm shorter or 1 mm longer screw than I actually ordered. Had to add two washers on one. I got 10 mm screws for the case, but the originals are slightly longer (and a different thread) but the machine screws seem to hold okay. I have a pretty extensive collection of M2 and M2.5 brass screws now. I have lots of them.
I am replacing internal screws as well - beyond what Beat advised. It made a difference on the A3.
Martin - I like your USB connector a lot better than the Sparkfun connector. Great idea. Just need to find one of those. How magnetic is the micro USB connector? Do they make any in brass? I've never seen one. I didn't test the Sparkfun version.
Are those 2 metal covers inside the Disto aluminum?
