I thought it was clear that I _did_ put it outside the iBook, on the 
side by the CD slot. The extra screw also appeared outside the iBook. 
Thanks for the useful tips, though.

>>  Later I looked where I had put the screws (right where the
>>CD slot is), and there were three identical screws. I ejected the CD
>>tray and couldn't see any missing screws, although one of the tray
>>slides is just a little loose now.
>>
>>Any idea where this extra screw came from?
