I am looking for screws for the Inspiron 15 5559 - it's motherboard is fine, but everything else is broken, and I don't have a laptop, so I'm trying to revive this device. I've managed to find some parts for them, which I'll soon be buying, and all I need new are missing screws. How do I deal with this? Laptop-specific screws are only available in the USA, and I'm not paying 100$ just for the shipping.

Here's the list of screws I want for my device. So far, no luck on any online hardware pages in India.

    If I was looking for these in the US I'd find a hardware store run by an old couple that has been in the same location for generations, passed down between family members, and ask them for help. It looks like some of these are standard metric screws.

    Big chain hardware stores, at least in the us, can be iffy about what they actually have in stock, but the little self owned hardware stores often have a lot of more obscure hardware or know where it can be found.
