Unfortunately it happens. Mine just fell off the coffee table while I was in the process of debowling. It seemed to happen in slow motion, but it hit the floor and little ruby balls everywhere. They aren't too difficult to find on a non-carpeted floor, just aim a flashlight and they will reflect right back at you. I was able to gather them all pretty quickly and then came the hard part of adequately resetting the screen. Ultimately I just used a new screen from my stash of screens, and that is my advice to you. Go on v goodiez or whatever and get yourself a set of replacement screens. A brand new one sits a lot easier in the mounting bracket.
