The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A unit and a method of using that unit during repair of a laptop computer are disclosed. The unit includes a magnetic board having special markings located thereon which correspond to the locations of screws used to hold a backplate of a laptop computer in place on the housing of the computer. As screws are removed from the backplate, they are placed on the markings which correspond to the location of those screws in the computer. The magnetic nature of the board holds those screws in place whereby the screws will not be lost and the technician knows exactly what screw goes where during the re-assembly process." The patent application was filed on March 30, 2010 (12/798,072).
