I started to disassemble the whole notebook to find it but I got to the point where I didn't know how to continue so I put everything back together and now its running like that from yesterday. What are the possible dangers of the screw being inside?
If it happens to be in the wrong place, it can get caught up in the fan depending on the size of the screw, which can't be a really good thing, otherwise I don't think it would do much to be honest. Unless it's long enough to touch 2 parts of the circuit board in a place where it can short anything by coincidence, then it will just sit there.
