EZBook 3 Pro – M.2 hatch screw

[Simon]

Hello,

I lost the screw wich close the M.2 hatch. What is its dimension? Do you know where I can buy a new one?
The offical store on AliExpress don’t have it.

Thank you!

I just tested to see if it fit. I don’t know the exact dimension, but the screw that came with my ssd m.2 kingspec was almost the same size (1mm) longer then the original, but it fitted perfectl

I lost the screw in the left corner of the back cover. I used the ssd screw too, but also for me it is too long for 1mm. I hope someone can help us.

you guys are so screwed….

 

just take one , measure with a caliper and go to a hardware store, or take a sample with you.
been there, done that, found them after a longer search

sizes vary depending model and version.

if your hardware store has none go to a mobile phone repair guy

yes , you go into a screw store and buy a screw.
you also can use a hot glue gun and put bit pf glue in it.
easy to remove if you have to but holds flap or lid in place.

do you have a link for the screws guys?

ive managed to lose every screw for the back plate lol

i placed them safely away to repair the battery and they have gone missing 🙁

[Chupa]

oh boy, you a major screwed.
a thin cut stripe of silver ductape around the case might do the trick until new screws arrive.
also a hot glue gun might be of some temporary help.

been there, done that, works.

still cant find the type of screws i need, any link that people got?

needs to be something bettr than glueing it or using tape

[Chupa]

a nail maybe? or just google, the dimension you need are above.
Type them into ebay or ali and you shall find

I found mine at Leroy Merlin what is a major hardware store in our area, they had all kind of 2mm screws and 1.8mm and even smaller

double sided tape inside the lid frame does the trick also

Sorry fot the post one year later, but I hope I’ll help someone
My screws got ruined so I decided to buy new ones. The hardware stores in my city don’t have little screws such these,
so I bought these: ALIEXPRESS
Just perfect
M2 x 3mm (length) [with flat head]

Note that you can also use screws form a dead laptop, probably some are good
