Having trouble with installing screws for chassis fan

**Cynical** · May 6th, 2017

I recently had to change my PC chassis and I bought a new 120mm fan for the new one as it has only one outtake fan in the rear side. Everything is going just fine but I’ve just noticed that the technician installed only 2 screws for the new fan and it seems he used the screws that came with the case. Since I got all the screws that came with the chassis so I tried installing the missing two myself and found they get stuck in the screw hole after few spins and don’t go in anymore. I am afraid that the fan probably came with its own screws and unfortunately I don’t have them. Is there anyway to solve this problem?

The screws that came with my fans don't screw in all the way into the fan either.

my phantom 240 .... the long screws have problems.... i might have to buy some long screws from newegg or just ignore it.

aayman The 2 installed screws seem to be fitted perfectly fine but when I try to install the other two screws, they won't go all the way in the hole and they just look like they weren't meant to be installed in that place.

furiousTaher I guess I might have to just ignore it.

Off-topic: Do you have any idea where can I buy USB dust covers in Bangladesh? I know it is silly but it would be cool to have it.

what is usb dust cover?????

and i think there is no dust filter in BD. vanguard imported some dust filter for himself and some other friends several years back.

@furiousTaher The front panel USB ports of the chassis collect quite a bit of dust (unless the chassis has some sort of door/panel to cover them) so I googled a bit and found they actually make female USB cap/cover to protect USB ports from dust, I was wondering if this is available in BD.
