Looking for replacment screws.

Im looking for some replacment screws for my m.2 cover on my Maximus x Code because my screws was stripped.

honestly, your best bet is likely to contact ASUS and ask them.

This is the type of screws you could find in many latops, however you have to be very carefull with length. If you have any pc repairs shop nearby, you could ask them for few spares, or buy them for few nickels.

Ofc bring original screw for comparison.

They're M.2 screws ffs ... short for METRIC  2  standard.

 

Go to a hardware store or electronics store and look at metric screws, if they have any.

 

Mouser (electronic parts distributor) has some Nylon ones in stock: https://www2.mouser.com/Electromechanical/Hardware/Screws-Fasteners/_/N-a61y3?P=1yzu9dn

 

Newark.com (electronic components distributor, Farnell in other territories)  has a bunch of them , here's a 6mm long steel one (ignore the picture, it's a generic one for the whole "series" (various lengths)  : http://www.newark.com/tr-fastenings/m26-pra2mcs100/screw-pan-head-steel-m2-6mm/dp/53M8646

Its not for the m.2 ssd itself but for the cover. Its different.

I already took out a screw from a old laptop which is a bit longer then the original one.

In computes, there's only 3 or 4 screw types used.

 

UNC 6-32  imperial 6  32 threads per inch  (the screws used for mechanical hard drives, screwing power supply to case etc) , most often to screw mb to case, cards to case etc

M3 - metric 3 , used for optical drives, less often for screwing mb to case

M2 - for SSD

UNC 4-40  imperial 4 - 40 threads per inch ... the screws on VGA and DVI connectors you use to lock cables to video cards etc

 

There's no other standards, so the motherboard should use either M2 or M3 or UNC 6-32 ... try a 6-32 if it's too thick to fit it, then most likely it's a M3 ... if the M2 screw is very loose inside then your screw is definitely M3.  (6-32 bigger than M3 which is bigger than M2).
