Hello,

I am missing a screw on the outside of the chassis which suspect is for the backplane. Any idea where can i get this?

Also, I am missing the screws for the top cover. Need 4 of those too.

I am willing to bet that all of them are the same screw as the standard 3.5" hdd screws.

That's strange... I wonder if there are different revisions of the 846 with different screws? I just spent a few hours today completely disassembling an 846 to clean it out. Those 2 backplane screws on the side of the chassis were exactly the same as the 3.5 hard drive screws, along with many other screws that attach to the chassis; I threw them all together in the same mag tray and didn't have an issue.

There are at least 3 revisions ("normal" with no suffix, "b" versions and the "x" version). Don't know if the newer revisions use different screws.

The HDD screws worked for me for both 846 and 826 chassis. Mine are older B revisions.
