Well, the title says it all, I'm gonna try and RMA my Sapphire X1900XT 256mb, but I need to know what screws I need and which screws go where. I've tried searching the net and Iim still stumped :( .

I've worked hard to save money on this card, and this seems to be the final hurdle for me!. First I bought the X1900XT 256mb pre-borked with an X2 cooler attached, then I managed to source a X1900 cooler but without the RAM cooler pads, so I lifted the waxy ones off my stock X1800XL cooler, and now all I need are the right screws!!

So, help a fella out and let him get his cheap X1900XT 256mb for christmas :D .

P.s: Incase your wondering, the total cost for the card is going to be about £80 including RMA and shipping costs :D .

Can anybody tell me how many screw washers there are supposed to be and what screws there on?? I'm thinking that there are atleast 4 washers under the X bracket thingy. Can anyone confirm this??
 
Assuming its the same layout as the 512mb version, there should be 4 outer screws (ie not the ones surrounding the copper bit) each having 2 washers - one for the top and one for the bottom of the pcb.
 
I wouldn't know, I don't want to risk it and fall at the last hurdle. SO, that's 8 washers just for the outer screws (seems strange, as the screws I've got have metal washers and there doesn't seem enough thread on the screw for 2 plastic washers either side). Can anybody tell me about the X-Bracket, does it have any washers, or is it just screws??

Really appreciate your help so far guys, thanks :) .

Ps: I know it's cheeky to ask, but pics would be VERY helpful, especially ones from the side (of which I can find none on the web).
