Acer Aspire 5680 screw size
M2.5 · 10 to 15 mm long
Acer Aspire 5680 takes M2.5 metric screws in lengths from 10 to 15 mm.
There are 2 separate fitment records for it, including display (qty 4, yellow) (M2.5) and display (qty 4, yellow) (M2.5).
2 of the 2 records are marked confirmed, drawn from 1 source (tim.id.au).
An M2.5 screw is 2.5 mm in diameter with a 0.45 mm pitch, tapped with a 2.05 mm drill; imperial look-alike: #3-48 / #4-40 (2.51 / 2.84 mm) — #4-40 is the common US stand-in and it will NOT thread in.

How to check the screw before you buy
- A screw that is even 1 mm too long in a laptop base can push into the keyboard, battery or a board trace, so match the length position by position.
- Diameter: across the threads an M2.5 screw measures about 2.5 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). If yours measures noticeably more or less, it is a different thread.
- Pitch: 0.45 mm from one thread crest to the next (22.22 crests per centimetre). A thread pitch gauge or the pitch-gauge tool settles it in seconds.
- Length: measure from under the head to the tip for pan, button, wafer and cap heads; countersunk (flat) heads are measured overall.
- The records span 10–15 mm, which means different positions take different lengths — match each hole to its own screw.
- Driver: the source does not name the drive. Standard M2.5 heads take PH1 for Phillips and T8 for Torx, and a 2 mm hex key for socket heads; a bit that fits loosely will cam out and strip the head.
- Tightening: no device-specific torque is published in these records. The site's general figure for M2.5 is about 45-70 N·cm into metal threads and 20-35 N·cm into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.
Common mix-ups with M2.5
- M2.5 pitch is 0.45mm vs M3's 0.5mm and M2's 0.4mm — forcing the wrong one strips plastic bosses instantly.
- M2.5 and M3 look the same to the naked eye — you need calipers on the shank to tell them apart.
