 Quick question, I lost 3 of the 4 screws on the back of my colorfly c3. Would anybody know where to get replacement screws? I know its T6 torx (M2) screws, the lenght I can measure, but I can't tell what the pitch is?
Any help would be appreciated

In this situation I would take the remaining screw to a decent hardware store where they can match it.

That's what I tried, but these are not your regular screws, they don't match anything

No other electronic devices laying around that may have something that fits? Something you can salvage from? Radio control car? Old Walkman?

I doubt anyone here will know what thread type it is but Goodluck.

If you can just find one more screw two will hold it on, one in each opposite corner.

Yeah I tried that too, but because the screws have an unusual pitch I haven't been able to find any unfortunately. And yes I doubt it too, but it's worth a try anyway. You are already giving suggestions, so at least that's something Thanks for that by the way!

Well, one screw and a bound of electrical tape wrapped around tightly just below the screen it is then.

I just have to ask - how did you managed to lose not 1 but 3 of the screws 

?
Anyway, it's not like colorfly has created a completely new type of scree just for the c3. The big chains of hardware stores should definitely have something that fits even if it has a different head. Or you can get the last screw scanned and find someone with a 3d printer to make you 3 more

I will measure the screws for you tonight and see what size they are.

But we need to know the thread type man, the thread type! >_< I can measure the size right now, but it will not get the rocket to the moon.

I imagine it is a stock metric thread, that you could also measure... 

 
Thankfully the Chi-Nee didn't create their own thread sizes...

I got it pretty well secured now, I would just like to fill up the holes with screws again, it just feels safer

They came loose and sometimes I didn't notice untill they were gone, I use my colorfly while running a lot so on long runs I sometimes manage to lose one
I have acces to multiple 3D printers, but technology has not advanced far enough to print thread this small and precise, certainly not metal printers, sadly..

Nope I got some other screws with normal thread out of an old gameboy, though these had a greater pitch. Although it would be possible that these were not stock either.. 
 
But I got another idea, I will post it when I find it works

Okay I found it out eventually, its torx t6 M2x4,5 threadsize 0,40 which is indeed stock threadsize for M2 bolts. I guess I was wrong there, but at least now we know
Here's a picture for proof:
 

 
Thanks everyone for your help!

Excellent find and great info for the Colorfly C3 Wiki...

Hi, here's my setup. C3 + CMOY Bengkel Macro v4 Mark III + Pailiccs 8 pure copper 4 silver interconnect. I like to pair with Sony MH1, Xiaomi Piston 2.1, and ATH-M50

Nice image!

There had been word for sometime Colorfly were making a new player. Many of us had hopes it would be something for everyone.

While I can't say its for everyone, they're going to deliver.

It won't be called the C5, according to the above link.
