Is the screw a 32*5/8th. Everywhere I look I can’t find that size there is more to the sizing. Any help would greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for this post.

Amy Ward -

They are #6 HDD screws. You can find them on Amazon. Under Hard Drive screws.

Hola! Mi maquina titila el 3r led. He pasado muchas veces actualización y nada. Que podría ser? Podrías ayudarme?

Thank you so much for this, I was pretty annoyed to have a power button problem just a month out of warranty. A fairly simple fix when you know what to do, and it would have taken me forever to figure out without this guide. Why wouldn't Cricut tell me this? Oh right, because then they can't sell another one.
