so long story short i had an ac vent that was broken, and got a replacement for cheap.. as soon as i unscrewed the screw holding it, the screw fell inside the actual ac pipe thing? or somewhere in there.. what can i do..?

i tried opening the cabin filter location.. no go.
 
Drop a small magnet down on a piece of string.
 
try sending a magnet on a string down the same A/C pipe and you may win... good luck
 
Or you can buy a flexible shaft about 12" long with a magnet on the end...... Oh sorry you are in the US... Not sure if you'll get it over there as I've seen them in a local UK car store...
