Nope, the only function of the screws is to hold the shield firmly to the perforated aluminum divider panel. Four screws is enough, though all six make sure of maximum contact. The only thing I can think of that might be affected if "maximum contact" is not obtained is a slight reduction in the performance of the EMI shield as an auxiliary heat sink.
Ok.
But I've run iMac DV SEs for hours on my test bench without that shield with no noticeable increase in temperatures. And I've worked on at least one DV SE that had no screws in the EMI shield, and it was running fine.
Makes me feel much better, thanks! :-)
So relax and enjoy your first DV.
Well, I *will* have lots of time to relax because I'm attempting Jaguar on it, and from experience with my B&W G3, this is gonna take a looong time :-P
